Wildstyle & Tattoo Fair Salzburg

The Wildstyle & Tattoo Fair is one of the most spectacular events in Europe, dedicated entirely to the world of body art, alternative culture, and creative expression. Every year, it opens its doors at the Salzburg Exhibition Centre to a diverse audience – from tattoo enthusiasts and artists to fans of extraordinary music, art, and cuisine. Unlike traditional trade fairs, this event is deliberately designed for the general public, offering an immersive experience for visitors of all ages and backgrounds.

Since its founding in 1995 in Upper Austria, the fair – organized by Wildstyle & Tattoo Messeveranstaltungs GmbH – has become a cornerstone of the scene. In addition to Salzburg, it tours various cities across Austria, bringing tattoo and body modification culture to a wide audience. Authenticity, diversity, and creative freedom are at the heart of the event.

The Salzburg Exhibition Centre, with its modern facilities, flexible halls, and spacious outdoor areas, provides the perfect setting for an event that goes far beyond a conventional tattoo convention. It brings together international tattoo artistry, live performances, and cultural highlights to create an unforgettable, dynamic experience.

Tattoo art in all its forms is at the core – from traditional old-school motifs to modern biomechanical designs. Numerous national and international tattoo artists work live on site, offering insight into their techniques and styles. The program is further enriched by bodypainting, presented as an equally impressive yet ephemeral form of body art.

Another key focus lies in the fusion of art, music, and lifestyle. In the "Art & Creativity Mile", alternative artists showcase their work – including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and handmade accessories and clothing. The fair sees itself as a platform for creative self-expression, deliberately promoting individuality and diversity.

A powerful live music lineup accompanies the event, with concerts spanning punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, and metal – establishing the fair as a major meeting point for the alternative scene. Visual impressions blend with acoustic experiences, while side stages feature freak shows and acrobatic performances that provide truly unique moments.

The Wildstyle & Tattoo Fair is more than just an event – it’s a one-of-a-kind experience that brings together art, body culture, and alternative lifestyles in a vibrant, open atmosphere. As a platform for artists and exhibitors with an international flair, a diverse program, and a firm place on the festival calendar, it has earned its reputation as a standout in the European festival landscape.

The Wildstyle & Tattoo Fair in Salzburg took place from Saturday, 25. October to Sunday, 26. October 2025.
