This November, New Plymouth will play host to the New Zealand Tattoo & Art Festival, which is set to be the biggest and boldest of its kind in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Tattoo & Art Festival, promoted by Oni Events and presented by Kentucky State Bourbon and Cola, will showcase some of the top international and local tattoo artists and expose the public to the history, art and culture of tattooing.
With over 130 artists confirmed, the bi-annual festival is set to become a permanent fixture on the international tattoo and art calendar. Along with tattooing, the festival will feature live music by Shotgun Alley, Devilskin, Leeches and World War Four; aerial artist Venus Star and burlesque performer Eva Strangelove plus art exhibitions, and more.
The weekend long event - Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 November – will be held at New Plymouth’s TSB Stadium.
