1. International Tattoo Convention Balver Höhle

In the previous year, 2025, the Tattoo Convention in the Balver Höhle had not yet taken place — the 2026 edition is the first premiere. Preparatory steps included: concept development, site coordination with the management of the Balver Höhle, acquisition of international tattoo artists, and establishment of the motto concept. Other tattoo events in the region (e.g., in Dortmund, Cologne) ran in the usual hall formats in 2025.
