Gods of Ink Tattoo Convention 2023

2023 was the first edition of a tattoo convention that is shaping up to be the One to look out for in the years to come on a worldwide scale, Gods of Ink. Frankfurt the location, Miki Vialetto the organiser. Miki has been organising the best tattoo conventions in Europe for over 25 years. After overseeing successful conventions in the likes of Milan and London, he is now focusing on Frankfurt. The list of tattoo artists at this event was incredible. From old timers to up and coming tattooers, every style was covered. We had our very own Claudia De Sabe and Teide, working and representing one of the few london based tattoo shops invited to attend.

Over the course of an amazing 3 days, Claudia and Teide sold artwork and prints, and tattooed until late everyday! The public were so enthusiastic and they couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Claudia tattooed some ribs, a half-sleeve and some one-shot tattoos on travelling customers who came from all over Europe for this truly unforgettable event.

The poster for this first edition was designed by the one and only The Grime, a genuine living legend and style-bender from the West coast, who unfortunately couldn't attend the event. Nonetheless, it was great meeting and seeing old friends, such as Doryu-San, Rudy Fritch, Stizzo, Alex holyfox, Nikole Lowe, KANAE, Brian kaneko, Rico and Shion of Daruma Goya, Filoluino, Hanumantra, Horiken, Horihiro, Todd Noble, Joao Bosco and Alexander Grimm.

 The quality of tattooing at this event was absolutely incredible. The team are looking forward to next year’s edition!
