Tattoo Convention Husum
Tattoo Convention Husum is a two-day tattoo convention held February 14-15, 2026, at Messe Husum & Congress in Husum, Germany. The event fills the exhibition halls with tattoo stations, vendor booths, and live art demonstrations during the Valentine's Day weekend. The convention brings together tattoo artists from across Germany and Europe to work on appointments and walk-ups. Attendees can watch live tattooing on the convention floor, browse equipment suppliers, and talk directly with artists about custom designs. The floor plan includes dedicated areas for blackwork, color realism, traditional, and neo-traditional styles. Artists set up booths with portfolios and flash sheets available for review. MS Tattoo Conventions organizes this event as part of their series of shows across northern Germany. The Husum edition has run for several years, drawing collectors from Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark due to the city's proximity to the border. The venue sits near the North Sea coast, about 40 minutes from the Danish border and two hours north of Hamburg. Visitors can expect the standard convention format: artists working at booths, flash sales, tattoo supply vendors, and weekend pass options. The event runs Saturday and Sunday, typically from late morning until evening. Single-day and weekend tickets are available through the official website. Some artists accept walk-ups, but booking ahead through the event's artist list is recommended for specific pieces. Messe Husum & Congress offers on-site parking and is accessible by car from the A23 motorway. The venue is a 15-minute walk from Husum train station, which connects to Hamburg and Flensburg. Local hotels include the Husum Stadtmitte options and chain properties near the harbor. Attendees should bring cash for deposits and smaller vendors, though many artists accept cards. Food vendors are available inside the venue. The tattoo scene in northern Germany has strong roots in traditional and Nordic-influenced work, reflecting the region's maritime history. This convention is a meeting point for German and Danish tattoo communities, with many artists specializing in bold lines and nautical themes.
