The Numaga Tattoo Convention is a three-day event held April 10-12, 2026, at Saint Stephen's Church in Nijmegen, Netherlands. The convention takes place inside the historic Stevenskerk, a 13th-century Gothic church located in the city center near the Grote Markt. Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands and has developed a strong tattoo community centered around its art schools and university culture. The city sits close to the German border, drawing collectors from both countries. Local shops specialize in everything from traditional Dutch maritime designs to contemporary blackwork and Japanese irezumi. The convention floor features live tattooing stations where attendees can book appointments with guest artists. Vendor booths sell tattoo supplies, aftercare products, and printed artwork. The church setting creates an unusual atmosphere for a tattoo event, with high vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows surrounding the working artists. Tickets are available through the official website. The venue is accessible by public transport from Nijmegen Central Station, which is a 10-minute walk away. Parking is available at nearby garages including Parking Grote Markt and Parking Kelfkensbos. Several hotels operate within walking distance, including Hotel Mercure and Hotel Oranjestaete. Attendees should bring valid ID for age verification and cash for deposits or merchandise, though most vendors accept cards. The event runs from midday to evening on all three days. Local bars along the Molenstraat and Waalkade usually host evening gatherings during the convention weekend.
