Iron Gate Tattoo Convention 2025

The Iron Gate Tattoo Convention 2025

The Iron Gate is back in 2025 for its third powerful year! We are excited to return for another weekend of unbelievable talent and unparalleled energy at the Hordern Pavilion in Moore Park, Sydney, Australia. After the overwhelming success of our last two conventions, we’re coming back stronger than ever—pushing boundaries, curating bold experiences, and championing creativity across every form.

Over the last year, we have carefully hand-picked some of the world’s best and most respected international tattoo artists and are bringing them to Australian shores.

Whether it’s Japanese/Oriental, Traditional, Neo Traditional, Realism, Colour Realism, Black and Grey, Tribal, Geometric, Pattern Work, Fine Line, Chicano, Black Work, Anime, we have the best artists within each style of tattooing, so there will be something for you!

What began as a celebration of tattoo artistry has quickly evolved into one of Australia’s most anticipated cultural events.

And this year, we’re turning up the volume.

For the first time ever, we’re transforming the outdoor forecourt into a mini hardcore music festival, featuring live performances from some of the most exciting acts in the scene. Inside, we’ll be expanding our tattoo talks, seminars, and panel discussions, adding more competitions, and showcasing interactive activations that blend tattoo artistry with fashion, performance, and street culture.

Iron Gate 2025 is more than a tattoo convention—it’s a living, breathing creative movement.

We’ve created a space where artists and audiences have the opportunity to connect on a deeper level.

Where brands can align with the energy of a culture that thrives on authenticity. And where every detail is designed to inspire, engage, and leave a lasting impression.

Whether you’re here to get tattooed by your favourite artist, discover new talent, shop independent labels, attend an art talk, or simply experience the vibe—Iron Gate is the convention to visit here in Sydney. We will be announcing more artists leading up to the event, so stay tuned! Australia, we’re bringing something special for Year of the Snake! This is The Iron Gate!
