Echoes of Ink

Echoes of Ink is a tattoo convention on Friday, July 11, 2025. It is held at Arena Berlin, a large industrial event space in the city's Friedrichshain district. Attendees can watch live tattooing throughout the day as artists work in their booths. There are tattoo competitions with categories like best of day and best large piece. The event floor has vendor booths selling tattoo aftercare, clothing, and art prints. Berlin has a strong tattoo scene, particularly for graphic blackwork and neo-traditional styles, which are often represented at local conventions. This is the first edition of this event. Tickets are sold at the door. Arena Berlin has paid parking on-site. Public transport with the U-Bahn or tram is a good option. Nearby hotels include the Michelberger Hotel and Plus Berlin. Bring cash for tattoos and vendors, as not all artists accept card payments. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing that allows access to the area you want tattooed.
