The Gods of Ink Tattoo Convention is proud to present the 5th edition of our highly anticipated Tattoo Competition.

At the 5th Gods of Ink, the Tattoo Competition Stage showcases some of the most spectacular tattoo art in the world: the best healed pieces but also the best pieces created over the course of the convention weekend, presented live on stage.

Always well attended, the Tattoo Competition is a highlight of the convention, with artists and clients presenting jaw-dropping, inked artworks in front of an international jury.

The Tattoo Competition takes place every afternoon, from Friday to Sunday.

Our specialist judges will determine which lucky artists walk away with a coveted prize trophy, created according to convention tradition by silversmiths El Rana. Inspired by religious iconography and featuring genuine ‘ex-voto’ motifs, these coveted awards will take pride of place in the lucky winner’s studios.

We are honoured to be joined by a phenomenal judging panel of tattoo experts. This year, world famous arfists Filip Leu, Mark Mahoney, Luke Atkinson, Junii Salmon and Tin Tin will be filling the score sheets.
