The Hell City tattoo competition judging is done with an odd number of judges to keep it always fair with a tiebreaker judge so we require either 3-5 judges to judge our competitions.

Upon entering the stage the judges receive a set of three judges cards. The rules are explained to the judges before bringing up the contestants. The judges then stand to the far side of the stage while the contestants are brought onto the stage.

As the contestants are brought onto the stage for viewing by the judges in front of the audience, the entry form is then taken from the Contestant and kept for entry records.

Typically each category will have Many contestants that need broken down into groups of 10–12 contestants moving onto the next wave once the judges have narrowed the first group of contestants down to the top three. The following top three from each wave of contestants go into one grand finale wave of the top three from each wave previously.

Judges begin judging, the judges received a total of three cards or tokens that they will be handing out. When the judges begin judging they will view all of the tattoos in a beginning viewing rotation before giving any passes or tokens out. Each judge makes sure they give a viewing time to each contestant that is on the main stage during each wave.

Once the judges make a decision, the judges will give out one card or token to their favorite tattoos on the stage in each wave. The contestant with the most cards or tokens wins and the following top count will take second and third place.

After the judge has given out their passes or tokens, they step back to the side of the stage where they began while the other judges complete their votes. Judges are allowed to deliberate about winners or other details about the tattoos they are judging to allow for a complete fair And open dialogue between the artists judging the tattoos.
