Miri International Tattoo Festival #5

The Miri International Tattoo Festival is a two-day event happening from November 22 to November 23, 2026. This is the fifth edition of this convention. The specific venue in Miri, Malaysia, is still to be announced. Attendees can expect a large number of tattoo artists, primarily from across Asia, working in the convention hall. Live tattooing will be happening throughout both days. There are typically tattoo competitions with categories like best of day and best style. Vendor booths will sell aftercare products, apparel, and tattoo equipment. The event usually includes seminars on tattooing techniques. Miri is a major city in Sarawak on the island of Borneo. The local tattoo culture has deep roots in the indigenous Iban tradition, known for bold hand-tapped motifs. This festival brings modern machine tattooing together with these historical influences. For practical information, tickets are expected to be sold online in advance and at the door. You should bring a valid ID. It is advisable to have cash for tattoos and vendor purchases. Plan for parking near the venue, which will be announced later. Nearby hotels include the Miri Marriott Resort & Spa and the Pullman Miri Waterfront.
