No matter where you are stationed in Europe, there is a tattoo convention near you. (Katie Wells)
Tattoo conventions are a great place to not only get a tattoo from a visiting “expert,” 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 in Europe, there is a tattoo convention near you. If you want to be tattooed by a specific artist at an event, make sure to reach out to them beforehand.
