Kassel Tattoo Convention

The Kassel Tattoo Convention is a one-day event on Saturday, May 3, 2025. It is held at the Kulturbahnhof Kassel, a historic railway station converted into a cultural center. Attendees can watch live tattooing throughout the day as artists work on clients. The convention floor has booths from tattoo studios and independent artists, many from across Germany. There are tattoo competitions where artists submit their work in categories like best large piece or best black and grey. Vendors sell tattoo aftercare, clothing, and art prints. Kassel is known for documenta, a major contemporary art exhibition, which influences a diverse and open-minded local art and tattoo scene. Tickets are sold at the door. The venue is near Kassel Hauptbahnhof, so public transport is easy. Parking is available at nearby city lots. Bring cash for tattoos, vendors, and entry, though some may accept cards. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing that allows access to the area you want tattooed.
