Tattoo and Beauty Convention in the Emslandhallen Lingen — two days of tattoo art, beauty trends, and live show program
The Emslandhallen Lingen is a versatile exhibition and event venue in the center of the Emsland region, regularly hosting large conventions, concerts, and trade fairs. With Artfusion, an event is taking place that attracts the most important players in the tattoo and beauty scene from Northern Germany and internationally each year. Tattoo artists from Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries travel to present their art and work on clients live.
The heart of every tattoo convention is the live work on the convention floor. Visitors can watch professional tattoo artists create designs, get advice, book an appointment, or get a tattoo spontaneously. Daily competitions in various categories — such as best tattoo of the day, best color tattoo, best black & grey, best realism design, or best cover-up — bring excitement and recognition for the participating artists and their models.
The tattoo scene is complemented by an extensive beauty and lifestyle area. Exhibitors from the fields of permanent makeup, nail art, eyelash extensions, hairstyling, piercing, body art, and alternative fashion present their offerings. Workshops and live demonstrations complete the program, giving visitors insight into current trends and techniques. Thus, Artfusion appeals to a broad audience, ranging from tattoo enthusiasts and beauty aficionados to lifestyle fans.
On the convention stage, visitors can expect a diverse show program with live music, performance artists, burlesque, fashion show elements, and special live acts. The atmosphere of a tattoo convention is characterized by a mix of subculture, family atmosphere, craftsmanship enthusiasm, and festival character — an experience that has made Artfusion a fixed date in the Northern German tattoo scene.
The two days offer a diverse program with live tattoo work, competitions for the best designs, beauty demonstrations, and show acts. The exact program will be published by the organizer in advance on the Emslandhallen website.
