Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence submitted for the petitioner's awards at various tattoo conventions did not establish their national or international significance. Additionally, letters from experts were deemed insufficient to prove that the petitioner's artistic style constituted original contributions of major significance to the field.
