The Tattoo Convention Bamberg is an annual public event with an international flair that has attracted tattoo enthusiasts, artists, and industry vendors from around the world to the Bamberg region since its inception in 2006. Organized by MC GmbH, an experienced company that has continuously refined the event concept with a keen sense for trends, quality, and the needs of the community, the convention has become a cornerstone of the European tattoo scene.
The venue is the modern Hauptsmoorhalle in Strullendorf, just a few minutes from Bamberg and conveniently located for visitors. This professional space offers ample room for a wide range of exhibitors, an engaging stage program, and a comprehensive selection of food and beverages, making it the perfect setting for one of the most important industry events in the German-speaking world.
At the heart of the convention is international tattoo and body art. Visitors can explore a broad spectrum of global styles—from traditional techniques to contemporary realistic and blackwork designs. Renowned studios and artists from various countries tattoo live on site and are available for conversations and consultations. The event also features professional piercing services, as well as a wide array of accessories, care products, and tattoo-related supplies. Fashion labels and accessory brands that reflect the urban tattoo lifestyle are also represented.
A standout feature of the convention is the tattoo contests, where a distinguished panel of judges awards the best works in various categories. These competitions serve as a mark of quality for artists and a major attraction for attendees. The program is further enriched by live music, stage performances, workshops, and panel discussions—often featuring well-known personalities from television and radio. A crowd favorite is the annual Mr. and Mrs. Tattoo Bamberg contest, which consistently draws significant attention.
More than just a trade fair, the Tattoo Convention Bamberg is a vibrant gathering place for a creative, diverse, and ever-growing community. It brings together professionals and tattoo fans in an open, international atmosphere, offering a space for inspiration, connection, and fresh ideas in the world of body art.
The Tattoo Convention Bamberg takes place annually, and therefore for the eighteenth time previsibly in May 2026 in Strullendorf.
