Join us for the 24th edition of the International Antwerp Tattoo Convention – one of Europe’s leading tattoo events. On May 02-03, 2026, we’re taking over Waagnatie in Antwerp, a stunning industrial venue right at the waterfront, to bring together tattoo artists, collectors, fans, and alternative culture lovers from around the world. Expect two full days of world-class tattooing, contests, live shows, original brands, and unforgettable energy.
From all over the world, from black & grey to full-color realism. IATC brings together over 150 tattoo artists from around the globe. Each artist brings their own unique style, technique, and story. For one weekend, they let their needles speak and make their names known on the international stage.
At IATC, talent meets challenge. Over two days, artists compete in a range of categories, from fine line to realism, pushing their skills to the limit. With every tattoo created live on-site, the competition is raw, real, and judged by a panel of top industry names. Trophies, prizes, and the ultimate recognition await… but only the best earn the glory.
