, get a flat 25 per cent off. There’s even a discount for Twitter buffs who post festival updates with the hashtag #nh7.

“We’ve come up with discounts for people who supported the festival in the past — for those who came to Weekender 2010 or Invasion 2011, or the #TogetherAtRazz launch party. Those people deserve the discount, because they’re the ones who made the festival special in the first place,” says Vijay Nair, CEO of Only Much Louder — one of the festival’s organisers.

A tattoo convention will also take place alongside the event on November 19-20. According to the organisers that include celebrity tattoo artist Sameer Patange of InkMyDink, there will be over 45 booths by international artists and some of the best names in the Indian tattoo industry too.
