The International Scottish Tattoo Convention

About The International Scottish Tattoo Convention

The 12th International Scottish Tattoo Convention will return bigger and better than ever on Saturday, 22nd March, 2025 - with World-renowned artists and some of the most exciting names in entertainment.

We can’t wait to have you join us for the most anticipated and most talked about Scottish tattoo event of the social calendar at the historic Edinburgh O2 Academy. Following the resounding success of the previous years, the show returns with the promise of showcasing the skills of some of the World's most prominent artists, both homegrown and from distant shores. Likewise, the high calibre of entertainment, music, and vendors that you have come to expect from the Scottish Tattoo Convention will make a welcome return, with some old favourites and some fresh talent that will both amaze and astound.

Despite this impressive line-up, however, we know that this show is nothing without the incredible and loyal support of our community. We'd like to thank you all for the overwhelming kindness and support you have shown to all of our artists, entertainers and traders in the past. We look forward to having you celebrate 11 YEARS of STC with us for yet another fantastic weekend.
