Xmas Bodensee Tattoo Convention

The Xmas Bodensee Tattoo Convention is a one-day tattoo event scheduled for August 1, 2025. It will be held in Friedrichshafen, Germany, a city on the northern shore of Lake Constance. The specific venue is still to be announced. Attendees can expect a standard convention format with areas for live tattooing, where artists will be working on clients throughout the day. There will be numerous artist booths from local and international talents, allowing for consultations and bookings. Tattoo competitions are typically a central part of such events, with categories for different styles and sizes. An artist alley with vendors selling prints, jewelry, and tattoo aftercare products is also common. While the south of Germany has a strong tattoo tradition, Friedrichshafen itself is more known for its aviation history. This event provides a concentrated hub for tattoo culture in the Lake Constance region. For practical planning, attendees should check the event's official channels for the venue announcement and ticket sales. Once the venue is confirmed, information on parking, public transport links, and nearby hotels will become available. It is advisable to bring cash for transactions with artists and vendors, though some may accept digital payments.
