20th China International Tattoo Festival

The China Tattoo Art Festival #20 marks a historic milestone for the Chinese and international tattoo community.

After 18 successful editions in Langfang, this legendary event entered a new chapter in the spectacular city of Hangzhou, hosted inside the colossal and luxurious Hangzhou Platinum Hanjue Hotel — one of the most impressive convention venues ever used for a tattoo event in Asia.

For two decades, the China Tattoo Convention has stood as the longest-running and most influential tattoo convention in China, attracting thousands of tattoo artists, industry professionals, collectors, and hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the world. What began as a pioneering gathering evolved into one of the true landmark events of the global tattoo culture.

Twenty years is more than an anniversary.

It is enough time for a movement to become a culture, for apprentices to become masters, and for an event to establish itself as a defining platform for an entire industry.

Whether you are a tattoo artist, studio owner, supplier, collector, or simply passionate about tattoo culture, this is an edition you do not want to miss.

As China continues to stand at the center of global manufacturing and innovation, this year’s edition will expand far beyond the traditional tattoo convention format. Alongside the international tattoo artists and exhibitors, the event will showcase hundreds of leading local and international manufacturers presenting the latest developments in tattoo equipment, cosmetic tattooing, tattoo removal technologies, piercing products, merchandising, software, studio tools, and much more.

The organization is preparing an unforgettable 20th anniversary edition, bringing together some of the finest tattoo artists and professionals from around the globe, alongside spectacular tattoo contests, live seminars, art exhibitions, music performances, entertainment shows, and exclusive industry networking opportunities.

A special thanks goes to renowned artist Cristopher Mendez Alfaro for creating this year’s iconic official poster artwork.

The vision remains clear:
