Are you a tattoo lover? From die hard fans covered in tattoos to those yet to get inked, tattoo conventions in Australia are welcome for all. They are a one-stop destination to celebrate all things tattoos including live tattooing, tattoo related merch, giveaways, competitions and live entertainment.

Tattoo conventions are also the ideal place to get ideas and inspiration for a new piece or cover-up. Be sure to swing by the Removery booth to chat about how we can work with your artist to help achieve the best cover-up by lightening or removing an existing tattoo.
