Events & Guest Spots 2026
I love the energy of guest spotting and tattoo expos — it’s where I connect with new clients, collaborate with other artists, and bring my realism, micro realism, fine line and large-scale black & grey work to new cities and countries. Slots are limited — enquire early to secure your session

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book?
Expo and guest spot slots fill fast. I recommend enquiring at least 2–3 months ahead for best availability.
Are walk-ins available at expos?
Limited walk-ins are sometimes possible, but pre-booked appointments are prioritised.
Do you offer international guest spots?
Yes — regularly in New Zealand and previously in United Kingdom (England and Scotland). Future international dates are open for enquiry.
Can I get a custom piece at an event?
Absolutely. I can start small studies or detailed pieces depending on the event length.
Will you be in Cairns for the rest of 2026?
Yes — Dusk and Bloom Studio remains my home base between guest spots and expos.
