Lyon’s tattoo festival is a highlight of many tattoo-enthusiasts’ calendars, with this year’s festival marking the 22nd year on the run that tattoo-lovers have flocked to Lyon. It’s certainly not an event to be missed if you’re thinking of getting inked this year!
If you’re looking to get tattooed at the festival, and have a particular image in mind, be sure to contact one of the tattoo artists before going to the festival so you can get exactly what you want. There is a list of the tattooists on the festivals website, which can be accessed here.
A Day of Entertainment
The festival also has plenty on offer besides from tattooing to entertain you. There will be cabaret shows and performances by a variety of people, from singers to jugglers.
If you fancy yourself as a pro-tattooist, you can even enter one of your creations into the tattoo competition, which will be judged by a panel of judges. If not, you can go along to admire the works of art.
