Altenburg X-Max Tattoo Convention

The Altenburg X-Max Tattoo Convention is a one-day event on Saturday, December 6, 2025. It is held at the Goldener Pflug event venue in Altenburg, Germany. Attendees can watch live tattooing throughout the day as artists work on clients. The convention floor has booths where artists display their portfolios and accept new projects. There are typically tattoo competitions with categories like best of day and best large piece. The event has a focus on the festive X-Max period, often incorporating seasonal themes. Altenburg is in Thuringia, a region with a growing tattoo community that blends traditional German styles with modern techniques. Tickets are sold at the door. Parking is available on-site at the Goldener Pflug. The venue has food and drink options. Attendees should bring cash for tattoos and vendor purchases, as not all artists accept card payments. This is a single-day convention, so planning appointments in advance with artists is recommended.
