3rd Brive Tattoo Expo
The 3rd Brive Tattoo Expo took place from April 3 to April 5, 2024 at Espace des Trois Provinces in Brive-la-Gaillarde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This three-day convention gathered tattoo artists from across France and Europe to display their work on the convention floor. The event occupied the exhibition halls at Espace des Trois Provinces, a multi-purpose venue in central Brive-la-Gaillarde. Attendees walked the floor to view portfolios and discuss custom designs with participating artists. The expo featured local French talent and international guests working in various tattoo styles including traditional, realism, Japanese, and blackwork. The 2024 edition marked the third iteration of this annual gathering in the Limousin region. Artists set up booths to display flash sheets and completed pieces. Visitors could book tattoo sessions directly with artists during the event, subject to availability and deposit requirements. Some artists offered walk-up appointments while others required advance booking through their individual scheduling systems. Brive-la-Gaillarde sits in south-central France, making the expo accessible from Limoges, Toulouse, and Clermont-Ferrand. The city center location allowed attendees to access restaurants and hotels within walking distance of the venue. The Espace des Trois Provinces provided indoor exhibition space with standard convention lighting and seating areas for consultations between artists and clients. The convention focused on professional tattooing practices. Attendees included collectors, first-time clients, and other tattoo professionals. The event atmosphere was that of a working convention where artists tattooed live throughout the weekend.
