Over 5 days and 900 m², this event offers visitors a plunge into " the art of tattooing through the ages ". The detailed program has yet to be announced. But don't forget that in 2022, tattoo lovers and enthusiasts were able to learn more about the practice by discovering a nomadic exhibition by the famous English collector William Robinson. This tattoo museum, exceptionally installed in the salle des fêtes of the 13th arrondissement town hall, unveiled several hundred items on the history of tattooing. Visitors could find unique, historic and sometimes curious pieces, such as this faithful reproduction of the Otzi mummy, on which 61 tattoos were identified on the body.

Visitors were also able to admire the first wireless tattoo machine in its original version, as well as a collection of original objects belonging to Sailor Jerry, the famous tattoo artist of the 1960s and founder of the"old school" style.

But the Paris 13 Tattoo Expo, which was free of charge, was also an opportunity to meet a number of tattoo artists, photographers, painters, collectors...
