The first ever Gods of Ink tattoo convention was held in the Messe Frankfurt Forum in Germany, and it’s safe to say the event was a huge success!

Created by Miki Vialetto - best known as one half of the duo that made the London Tattoo Convention so spectacular - Gods of Ink is situated a little more centrally for international artists, with over 350 world-class tattoo artists making an appearance.

Check out our video for award-winning tattoo artists, aerial performances,  and so much more!

The convention hosted several of our sponsored artists, and a few of them walked away with awards! Congratulations to Igor Mitrenga for winning ‘Best Realism’, and to Yarson for coming a very respectable second place in the same category. Matt Jordan took home ‘Best Black and Grey’, while Rich Harris took both ‘Best Colour’ and 3rd place in ‘Best of Show’.

A special shout out to World Famous Ink sponsored artist Vladislav Shetikov for taking home ‘Best of Show’ for this insanely colourful collaboration with Nikolai Ivanov.

We’ll be waiting with bated breath for the announcement of the 2024 Gods of Ink convention - hopefully we’ll see you then!
