A tattoo convention in a league of its own, at the heart of the Cantal region
My longstanding desire has been to reunite tattoo fans, even those who know little about our world but still show an interest, at an open-air, sunny, family event.

The village of Chaudes-Aigues – an obvious choice for the Festival du Tatouage
For this huge summer event, the only question remaining was the place. When I discovered the village of Chaudes-Aigues in the Cantal region, I was smitten.

The codes of the tattoo convention, with a local twist!
Nothing has been forgotten for this extraordinary tattoo convention :
- Tattooing competitions
- Exhibitions of both black and gray and color pieces
- Meetings with the best tattoo artists
- Shows and concerts are all on the programme.
