After six years, the Piacenza Tattoo Convention returns to the city in the new location of the “Laboratorio Aperto”, a former church that has been recently restored and returned to the city as a cultural space open to events, public activities and artistic initiatives.
Italia Tattoo Convention is a format that has been established in Genoa for almost twenty years, an event that focuses on technique, authenticity and the work of the artist. Tattoo artists from all over Italy will be present to celebrate the art of tattooing. During the event, you can get a tattoo or simply observe the creative process up close, with tattoo artists at work in real time.
On Saturday 7 February, there will be a themed competition, a special category that offers a different creative challenge each year. The theme chosen for Piacenza is Love.
For hygiene reasons, animals are not allowed.
