The International Scottish Tattoo Convention has confirmed its return for 2027. The 14th edition of the Convention will grace Edinburgh Corn Exchange on Saturday 27th March 2027, featuring world renowned artists, vendors and music. 

Earlier this year saw the Convention’s 13th edition take place at the Scottish capital’s Corn Exchange, and welcomed vendors like Chilliman, Cute But Deadly Nail Co, Inked Rugs and Hellcat Jewellery. Total Tattoo Magazine said of this year’s event that it was, “impossible to write a report that doesn’t sound too gushy. This show is just so good!”

Following on from the success of this year’s iteration, next year promises to continue and showcase the work of both homegrown and further ashore artists and inkists, and remains even 14 years on as the most anticipated and talked about tattoo event in the Scottish calendar.
