Ibaraki Tattoo Festival

Tattoo Japan Sponsors the 2025 'Ibaraki Tattoo Festival'

Notable tattoo artists from the Kanto and Ibaraki regions gather together! A two-day authentic tattoo convention-style event.

Ibaraki Tattoo Festival (Ibaraki Shiseisai) is a tattoo convention where skilled tattoo artists from within and outside Ibaraki Prefecture come together. Through live demonstration sessions and contest categories, this event promotes the techniques and appeal of tattoo art.

"Those who want to improve their tattoo art skills" and "those who want to see other artists' techniques up close" - this event aims for professional tattoo culture exchange and development.

Convention contests will be held! Compete in technical skills across sleeve, back piece, American traditional, and black and gray categories!

Additionally, pop-up shops by various brands developing tattoo goods will be held simultaneously. You can enjoy not only watching live demonstrations but also shopping.

The 31st Hitachinaka Festival will also be held on the same days! Fireworks on the 16th and the main festival on the 17th - enjoy the local festival together.
