The convention will take place over November 19th, 20th and 21st, with an exciting lineup including

  • TikTok stars
  • Tattoo Legends
  • Live Music
  • Death Defying Sideshows from sword swallowing to knife throwing
  • Aerial & Pyrotechnics
  • Live Graffiti
  • Tattoo Wars and Tattoo Competitions
  • Dublin Body Paint live show
  • Piercers
  • Market Place with Food trucks and Bar

Best of all, if anyone’s looking to be tattooed over the weekend there’ll be 100 artists to choose from.

The event is family friendly but don’t worry, there’ll be no tattooing of children. But kids can still join in the fun with temporary tats from Dublin Body Paint, and a virtual reality section to explore. Better still, kids under 15 go free.
