Bellf'ink Tattoo Show (2026)

The Bellf'ink Tattoo Show is a two-day convention held May 9-10, 2026, at the Salle multi-sport de Bellefontaine in Tintigny, Belgium. This event combines tattoo artistry with Norse cultural activities, creating a format that differs from standard tattoo conventions. The venue sits in the Belgian Ardennes, about 20 kilometers from the Luxembourg border. Tintigny is a small commune in the province of Luxembourg, Wallonia, known for its rural setting rather than urban tattoo density. The event brings tattoo collectors and artists to a region that normally sees fewer conventions than Brussels or Antwerp. Attendees can watch live tattooing throughout the weekend. Artists set up booths to work on appointments and walk-ins. The floor includes vendor booths selling equipment, aftercare products, and jewelry. Tattoo competitions run during the event, with categories typically including black and grey, color, and small tattoos. Judges announce winners on the final day. What sets this convention apart is its Viking theme. The schedule includes fire shows, Viking combat demonstrations, and rallies. A live blacksmithing area demonstrates traditional metalwork techniques. Visitors can try axe throwing and archery at dedicated workshop stations. These activities run alongside the tattoo floor, creating a festival atmosphere that extends beyond the booths. The event includes family elements. A mascot appears for children's entertainment, making this one of the few tattoo conventions that actively accommodates families alongside serious tattoo collectors. For tickets, check the event's social media pages or contact the organizers directly, as the website is currently unavailable. The venue offers parking on site. Hotels in Tintigny are limited; most attendees stay in nearby Arlon or Virton, both within 15-20 minutes by car. The Salle multi-sport de Bellefontaine is a sports hall that converts to convention space, so bring cash for vendors and wear comfortable shoes for concrete floors. Belgium's tattoo scene centers on Brussels and Antwerp, where strict health regulations ensure high standards. This event brings those professional standards to the southern region while adding the unique Norse cultural elements that reflect growing interest in Nordic tattoo styles and historical body art techniques.
