The Seville Convention and Exhibition Center (FIBES) is putting the finishing touches on preparations to host, from September 18 to 20, one of the must-attend events for lovers of tattoos and urban culture: the Seville Tattoo Convention.
This popular event, which has already been held six times in Jerez, is coming to Seville and Madrid in consecutive weeks to bring together industry professionals and enthusiasts of the tattoo world.
A premier venue for the national and international tattoo scene
The convention will transform FIBES into a veritable giant studio, attended by hundreds of renowned local, national, and international tattoo artists. The event is designed for both industry professionals and the general public looking to delve into tattoo culture.
The fair’s booths will not only feature live tattoo sessions but will also showcase and sell certified supplies, streetwear collections, tattoo aftercare and healing products, and original illustrations.
Contests, seminars, and activities
One of the convention’s highlights will be the official competition among the participating artists.
Tattoo artists may participate in the following categories, with tattoos created during the convention:
- Black & Gray
- Neotraditional
- Traditional
- Realism
- Fine Line
- Anime
- Lettering
- Dotwork / Ornamental / Geometric
- Special Categories
- Big Tattoo (a piece larger than an A4 sheet)
- Tattoo Curado (Sunday at 1:00 p.m.)

In addition to the live tattoo competition, the event’s program includes:
- Live tattoo sessions. Attendees can book appointments in advance with featured artists or request a slot directly at the authorized booths.
- Music and entertainment: DJ sets and live demonstrations to liven up the tour of the exhibition halls.
- As a major new feature for 2026, the Sevilla Tattoo Convention will be part of the Ink Fight tour, a micro-event featuring an MMA and Muay Thai league integrated into the tattoo scene.
