A celebration of art and ink. Dutdutan
is currently the nation’s biggest and grandest annual tattoo
exposition, presented by Tribal Gear Philippines. A venue for the finest
of skin arts, this is the one event where acclaimed tattoo artists,
enthusiasts, supporters, and even curious first-timers gather to marvel,
get inked, compete, and experience skin artistry at its best.
Dutdutan is also the one
place and time when age and social status cross boundaries to take
pleasure in a very personal and intimate brand of self
expression. Taking on a different level each year, Dutdutan
brings in more and more tattoo artists from all over the country and
the world. Participants from other countries have taken interest in this
extraordinary event and would want to experience tattoo ‘pinoy’ style.
Highlights of Dutdutan
include competitions of creativity and innovation among the best tattoo
artists in the local scene. Premier inkers battle for prestige in
various categories, exhibiting ingenuity and artistic mastery in the
field of skin art. ‘Tattoo of the Day’ remains the most coveted award as
artists from this category create their entries on the day itself,
giving everyone a chance to actually witness a master at work, and how
art pieces are created on skin. The expo also displays exceptional
pieces done by sought-after tattoo artists, and the various styles and
designs one may choose to get inked – all artistically and skillfully
done on epidermal canvas. Apart from actual tattooing, booths are also
installed to hold anything and everything about tattoo, from simple
souvenirs to the more complicated tattoo paraphernalia made available to
those who need it, and want to further explore the art.
Essentially, Dutdutan as
an event initiates the evolution and elevation of tattoo as an art form –
one of the many ways of self-expression that has long been regarded as
taboo, as it always appealed to the rebel crowd and the unconventional.
But now, tattoos are considered to be a mainstream art, as more
celebrities started having them. Famous personalities, not just the
obscure, were not only getting tattoos, but were displaying them
proudly. Suddenly, the status of body art had dramatically improved and
its stigma was fading fast. During this period of evolution, scores of
true body art supporters have come out and showed pride in their
tattoos. And now we have a community of strong and loyal tattoo
enthusiasts that will see body art through its evolution at every stage.
This is exactly what makes each Dutdutan event one hell of a joyride.
