Red Ink Tattoo Festival

The Red Ink Tattoo Festival makes its highly anticipated return in 2026, promising three days of unparalleled artistry and community spirit. Drawing upon the vibrant energy, the thrill of competition, the victorious cheers, and the intense passion witnessed at previous events, this year's festival is meticulously redesigned. We've listened to feedback and analyzed every detail to present a Red Ink 2026 that is more powerful, expansive, and deeply engaging than ever before. Participants will contend for a significant prize fund of 500,000 ₽, with the coveted "GRAND PRIX" winner receiving the entire cash sum. A new "Beginner Master" category within Best of Day will empower emerging artists, offering them a prominent stage. Beyond the competition, expect exhilarating performances from favorite bands, underground acts, and headliners, complemented by a dynamic exhibition. "Education 2.0" offers top speakers and fresh topics for professional development, while a global live broadcast ensures Red Ink's reach extends worldwide. Our goal is to unite the tattoo industry nationally and globally, creating a hub where diverse regions converge to foster new projects, friendships, and the future of tattoo art. Red Ink 2026 is more than an event; it's a movement, a community, a family. Join us May 8th to 10th and be at the center of this pivotal experience. Show times: Day 1 (9 a.m. – 9 p.m.), Day 2 (12 p.m. – 9 p.m.), Day 3 (12 p.m. – 9 p.m.).
