Ancona Tattoo Expo #5

The Ancona Tattoo Expo #5 is a two-day tattoo convention happening on November 15 and 16, 2026. This is the fifth edition of the event. The exact venue in Ancona is to be announced. Attendees can expect live tattooing throughout the weekend, with Italian and international artists working on clients. The event typically includes tattoo competitions with categories like best of day and best large piece. There will be vendor booths selling tattoo aftercare, apparel, and art. Some conventions host seminars on technique or afterparties, but details for this event are still pending. Ancona is a port city on the Adriatic coast. The wider Marche region has a growing tattoo scene with artists specializing in fine-line, blackwork, and classical Italian styles. For a first-time attendee, it is good to bring cash for tattoos and vendors, eat a meal before arriving, and wear comfortable clothing.
