Svenska Tatuering Massan is a two-day tattoo convention held on May 22 and 23, 2026, at Borgen-Folkets Park in Norrköping, Sweden. The event fills the venue with tattoo stations, vendor booths, and art displays for the full weekend. Artists work on clients while attendees walk the floor to watch live tattooing and book appointments with guest artists from across Scandinavia and Europe. The venue sits in central Norrköping, a city in eastern Sweden known for its industrial history and recent growth in arts and culture. Borgen-Folkets Park provides indoor and outdoor space for the convention, with the main hall housing the majority of tattoo booths and equipment vendors. The park location means attendees can move between indoor tattoo stations and outdoor areas during the weekend. The convention runs from midday to evening on both Saturday and Sunday. Visitors can expect to see traditional Nordic designs alongside contemporary blackwork, realism, and Japanese pieces. Competitions run throughout the weekend with categories for fresh tattoos and healed work. A stage area hosts seminars where artists discuss techniques and equipment. Tickets are available through the official website. Single-day and weekend passes are typically offered. The venue is accessible by public transport from Norrköping Central Station, with bus connections stopping near Folkets Park. Parking is available in the surrounding area though spaces fill quickly on Saturday mornings. Hotels in the city center are within walking distance or a short taxi ride from the park. Sweden has a long history of tattooing tied to maritime traditions and more recently to street shop culture in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Norrköping sits between these larger cities and has developed its own tattoo community with several local shops participating in the event each year. The convention draws collectors from across Sweden and neighboring Finland and Denmark. Attendees should bring cash for merchandise and food vendors, though many tattoo artists accept card payments for deposits. Comfortable shoes are necessary as the concrete floors and outdoor areas require walking between buildings. Afterparties happen at local bars in Norrköping's city center on Saturday night, though these are informal gatherings rather than official event programming.
