South African Tattoo Convention #8

The South African International Tattoo Convention, an annual three-day event in Cape Town, proudly presents over 120 of the world's top tattoo artists from more than 20 countries. This gathering offers attendees a unique chance to be tattooed by expert local and international artists, each specializing in a broad spectrum of styles. Heartfelt and tattooer-owned, the convention annually honors the privilege of uniting such an exceptional roster of global talent under one roof. Held at DHL Stadium, the convention weekend delivers a lively atmosphere beyond the art. Guests can enjoy local bands, relax at the beer tent and cocktail bar, and savor diverse street food from Cape Town's best local food trucks. This ensures a comprehensive and engaging experience for all. After the three days of tattooing conclude, participating artists uphold cherished traditions. These include a train journey to swim with African penguins, a boat trip in the V&A Harbour, and an exciting three-day 'tattoo safari.' This safari visits South Africa's premier private game lodges, providing an unforgettable opportunity to encounter the iconic Big 5. Plan to join this extraordinary event from March 13-15, 2026.
