Kicking off 2024’s convention schedule in style, we flew to Milano Tattoo Convention for its 27th year of tattoo goodness!

With hundreds of world-class artists - including more than a few of our own sponsored artists - Milano kept us busy for three days of tattoo excellence, awards, and badass entertainment.

Our old friends the Mutant Suspension Squad were there to show what putting up with pain truly looks like, as well as wrestling and body painting performances to keep us busy between checking in on the remarkable talent on display.

Check out the video for the weekend’s highlights, tattoo work and awards!

We love getting this opportunity to catch up with our sponsored artists - keep your eye out for Ryan Smith, Guido Schmitz, Damian Gorski, Sandra Daukshta, Sampaguita Jay, and so many more!

Huge congratulations to Animal Tattooer, who secured Best of Show for her collaboration piece with tattoo legend Waler Montero, and Rich Harris, who took both Best of Saturday for an epic skull piece and 3rd in Best Large Colour for a healed leg sleeve.

Enjoy the video, and we’ll see you again for more tattoo shenanigans at the next one!
