6 advantages of attending conventions as a tattoo artist

Tattoo conventions have become one of the most relevant events in the body art industry. These fairs not only bring together the best tattoo artists in the world, but they are also a meeting point between artists, fans and companies in the sector. They are points of contact where art is lived and breathed in its maximum expression, which allows artists to expand their creative horizons and get to know first-hand other industry leaders.

One of the most anticipated conventions of the year is the Baum Fest, also known as the Barcelona Tattoo Expo. This event, which will take place on October 4, 5 and 6 of this year 2024 in Barcelona, is a true spectacle for the senses, where urban culture is the protagonist through its most extreme expressions.

1. Networking

Tattoo conventions attract artists, suppliers and enthusiasts from all over the world. Participating in an event like Baum Fest will allow you to meet other renowned tattoo artists, share experiences and establish valuable contacts in the industry. This type of event brings together experts from different parts of the globe, which opens doors to future collaborations or even job opportunities in other countries.

2. International expositions

Tattooing at a convention of the magnitude of the Barcelona Tattoo Expo means that your work will be seen by an international audience, not just local visitors. This expo can catapult your career, as you'll be on a stage where both your fellow artists and the specialized media are on the lookout for up-and-comers and experienced tattoo artists who stand out for their technique and style.

3. Urban art

At a tattoo convention, you can work live in front of an audience, allowing you to demonstrate your skills in real time and receive immediate feedback from peers and fans. In addition, at events like Baum Fest, tattooing merges with urban art shows like graffiti and breakdancing.

4. New trends and products

Baum Fest is not only an event to showcase tattoos, but also a place to discover the latest trends in the industry. As a tattoo artist, you will have direct access to new products, technologies and techniques that can enhance your work. Whether it's new inks, needles, machines or aftercare products. Learning about new brands can help you gain sponsorships with those brands.

5. Visibility in contests and awards

Participation in competitions within the convention is another significant advantage. Winning an award at a convention of this caliber can be a springboard to an excellent way to validate your artwork. In addition, winning awards at events like the Barcelona Tattoo Expo not only increases your visibility in the industry, but also reinforces your reputation among potential clients and colleagues. 

6. Inspiring environment

Being surrounded by other artists and enthusiasts at a dedicated tattoo event can be extremely inspiring. The creative energy and shared passion for the art can motivate tattooers to experiment with new ideas and styles in your own work.
