Organisers put the call out to lovers of body art who are planning on attending Australia’s original festival of hard rock – they’ll be holding a fully-fledged tattoo competition on the day. Registration is between 11am and 4pm at the Westside Puncture Stage which will be located just near the skate ramp. Judging will be from 7pm and you will need to be back in that area.
