Ink Needle Tattoo Convention

The Ink Needle Tattoo Convention is a one-day event on Sunday, August 3, 2025. It is held at Paviljongsplan, an open-air venue in the historic city of Visby, Sweden. Attendees can watch live tattooing throughout the day as artists work on clients. The convention floor has booths for tattoo artists and vendors selling aftercare products, apparel, and tattoo supplies. There are scheduled tattoo competitions where artists can enter their work in categories like best of day or best large piece. Visby is on the island of Gotland, which has a small but active tattoo scene, especially during the summer months. This event is a gathering for local Swedish and Scandinavian artists. Tickets are sold at the door. Paviljongsplan is a public park area, so attendees should bring cash for tattoos and vendors, and be prepared for variable weather. There are several hotels and guesthouses within walking distance in central Visby.
