Dates and Schedule
The Nepal Inked Tattoo Festival #10 is scheduled to take place from October 23 to October 30, 2025.
Event Overview
Nepal Inked Tattoo Festival is a unique and artistic tattoo event that diverges from traditional tattoo conventions and expos. Originated in 2013, this festival focuses on creating a more intimate and artistic space for tattoo artists to connect with their art and with each other. After facing challenges such as the 2015 earthquake and the high costs of outdoor production in 2016, the organizers reimagined the event to better align with Nepal’s cultural context, emphasizing nature, spirituality, landscapes, and tradition.
Since 2017, Nepal Inked has been held outside the city of Kathmandu, immersing artists and attendees in natural surroundings that foster personal interaction and creativity. The festival features large working tents equipped with necessary amenities to create a comfortable and inspiring environment for tattooing and artistic collaboration. This approach aims to preserve artistic integrity and community over commercialization, making it an alternative tattoo festival deeply rooted in Nepalese culture and natural beauty.
The festival is often referred to as a "Tattoo Gathering in Himalayas," reflecting its distinctive setting and spirit.
