Tattoo artist tattooing on client’s arm ()

Tattoo conventions are a great place to not only get a tattoo in a style that might not be available from an “expert” in your local area, but also a wonderful place to meet fellow tattoo enthusiasts and see the latest in tattoo styles, news, machinery, and art. No matter where you are stationed or visiting in Europe, there is a tattoo convention nearby for you. If you want to be tattooed by a specific artist at an event, make sure to reach out to them beforehand.
