Tattoo Convention Neumünster (2026)

Tattoo Convention Neumünster is a two-day tattoo convention taking place March 7-8, 2026, at Neumünster Town Hall in Neumünster, Germany. The event fills the historic municipal building with tattoo artists from across Germany and neighboring countries, offering attendees direct access to portfolios, live tattooing, and professional equipment vendors. The convention runs Saturday and Sunday, typically from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, though exact times are confirmed closer to the date on the MS Tattoo Conventions website. Artists occupy multiple rooms throughout the town hall, setting up booths where they work on pre-booked appointments and accept walk-up requests. Flash sheets cover the walls and tables, displaying available designs ranging from small pieces to larger work that requires multiple sessions. Visitors can expect to see live tattooing throughout both days. The sound of machines runs constantly as artists work on clients who booked spots specifically for the convention. Many attendees come to start new pieces or continue existing work, taking advantage of the concentration of talent. Others come to browse, compare styles, and book future appointments with artists they discover at the event. The vendor area includes suppliers selling tattoo machines, needles, inks, and aftercare products. This is where local and international suppliers display new equipment and offer convention pricing on supplies. Artists often restock their kits here, while collectors can buy recommended aftercare creams and balms directly. Neumünster sits in central Schleswig-Holstein, positioned between Hamburg and Kiel. The town hall is located in the city center, approximately ten minutes walk from Neumünster Hauptbahnhof (main train station). Several hotels operate within walking distance, including chains and independent guesthouses. Parking is available at the Holstenhallen lots and street parking in the surrounding area, though attendees arriving by car on Saturday morning should expect congestion. The event is organized by MS Tattoo Conventions, which runs similar events across northern Germany. This edition marks another year of bringing tattoo culture to the Schleswig-Holstein region, offering an alternative to the larger conventions in Hamburg or Berlin. The crowd is a mix of local collectors, first-timers getting their initial pieces, and experienced enthusiasts adding to existing collections. German tattoo culture emphasizes technical precision, with strong representation of realism, blackwork, and traditional European styles at this convention. Artists from Hamburg, Kiel, and Flensburg often attend, alongside guests from Denmark and the Netherlands. Tickets are available through the official website and at the door. Attendees should bring government-issued photo ID, as German law requires age verification for tattoo services. Cash is recommended for deposits and smaller vendor purchases, though most artists accept bank transfers for full session payments. Wear comfortable shoes, as the venue involves standing and walking on hard floors for several hours.
