Dutdutan Tattoo Convention #25

Dutdutan Tattoo Convention #25 is a one-day event on Friday, September 12, 2025. While the exact venue for this edition is to be announced, Dutdutan is historically held in Manila, often at the SMX Convention Center. This is the 25th edition of the Philippines' largest and longest-running tattoo convention. Attendees can expect a large exhibition hall filled with hundreds of tattoo artists from across the country and international guests. Live tattooing happens all day on the convention floor. There are typically tattoo competitions with categories like best black and grey and best large piece. Vendor booths sell aftercare products, clothing, and tattoo equipment. Manila has a strong tattoo scene known for its bold traditional styles and detailed blackwork, influenced by both indigenous and modern designs.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area you plan to get tattooed.
