Le Mondial du Tatouage, the tattoo show 2020 in Paris, is ultimately cancelled

Facing an increasing success for tattoo, Tin-tin (Tin-tin Tatouages, Paris) decided, over five years ago, to bring Le Mondial du Tatouage back to life after 13 years off.

After a successful comeback in March 2013 at the 104 followed by four wonderful editions in La Villette (28,000 visitors in 2014, 32,000 visitors in 2015, 35,000 visitors in 2016 and over 30,000 visitors in 2017 too), the event is back in 2020 to celebrate the 10th edition of the world's most visited tattoo convention (1999, 2000, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020!) On the occasion, Le Mondial du Tatouage will once again take over the Grande Halle de la Villette. Le Mondial du Tatouage was return to La Grande Halle for three new dates: Friday October 16, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18, 2020.

For three days, tattoo aficionados were to meet again in Paris 19^th arrondissement to live a new and 10th edition as exceptional as the previous ones.

On the menu: tattoo contests (election of the best back piece or body suit, best large black and grey or even the best small color…) as well as exhibitions and concerts!

But Le Mondial du Tatouage is first and foremost the place to be for many domestic and international tattoo-artists. So, in 2019, 420 tattoo-artists came to La Grande Halle de La Villette in order to complete thousands of tattoos.

After an exceptional vintage 2019, many tattoo artists will be back again in 2020 including Chimé, Christina Ramos, Diego Moraes, Dodie, Eskimo, Fred Laverne, Jess Tattooer, luka Lajoie, Manu Durand, Niko Inko, Po Oino, Sam Rulz, Suluape Pili Moo, Thomas DHT, Thierry Manao and even Yushi Horikichi...

You may wonder how to get a tattoo at Le Mondial du Tatouage. It’s simple, all you have to do is to visit the official website (website opening soon), select the tattoo-artist you want and write him or her your project (links are provided to contact the artists). But, be aware that tattoo-artists are quickly booked!

Till then, enjoy Le Mondial du Tatouage 2019 again:
