Kazan Tattoo Fest returns in the summer of 2026 and reaches a new level — with a new venue, updated format, and even more thought-out conditions for participants. The festival will take place on June 6 and 7, gathering tattoo artists, studios, guests, and tattoo culture enthusiasts from all over the country.
Date and Location
When: June 6–7, 2026
Where: Kazan, Vyystavochnaya Street, 1
This year, Kazan Tattoo Fest moves to a new location — Kazan Expo, one of the most spacious and technologically advanced exhibition spaces in the city. Major exhibitions, forums, and concerts are held here, and it is here that the festival will truly unfold on a grand scale.
New Venue and Format
Kazan Expo — a space where everyone has room to spread out: artists, guests, competitive programs, and evening activities. During the day — work in booths and competitions in categories, at night — partying and informal communication, all in one place. The venue's distance from the city center is compensated by regularly running buses, so getting to the festival will be convenient for both participants and visitors.
Conditions for Tattoo Artists
Kazan Tattoo Fest traditionally focuses on comfort and respect for artists — and in 2026, this principle is only strengthened.
The cost of a booth is 60,000 rubles (the price is valid until March). Additionally, there is a wholesale discount: when purchasing 5 or more booths, the cost of one booth — 50,000 rubles, which is a savings of 10,000 rubles per booth.
Each booth — is a metal structure 2×2×2m, which you can brand as you wish. This is a full-fledged workspace where everything is thought out in advance.
What is included in the booth
The organizers have abandoned paid rentals and the need to bring your own furniture. Along with the booth, you get everything you need for work for free:
- couch
- holder
- chairs for the artist and model
- work table
- trash can
- 220 V connection
- 4 passes to the festival
- free registration in all competitive categories
Tattoo Competition and Prizes
In 2026, the festival will present a new lineup of judges, and the competitive program will become even more interesting.
An important update — cash prizes even for the winners of the "Healed Works" competition, which remains a rarity for tattoo festivals.
