Royal Tattoo Battle is the largest international forum, taking place September 14–17, 2026 for the fourth time at a countryside park hotel near Moscow, set on 25 hectares of land. Four days full of experience, five educational stages featuring live masterclasses, lectures, and battles of top artists. This year, more than 400 participants and 30+ speakers from around the world are expected.
The Forum includes:
Battle of the Strongest — a competition among the best artists in their respective styles. It is not just a contest but also part of the educational program, where you can follow the entire journey together with the participants — from project presentation to the final winner selection, determined by all attending artists.
You can challenge any battle winner if you believe you are stronger than our candidates.
Already announced this year:
Eastern Characters — Chen Lin, Andy Molotov
Full Improvisation — West.H, Darktorch
Lectures and Masterclasses — transform the forum into a living university of the tattoo industry and build the Royal Tattoo Battle knowledge base. It is a concentrated mix of global practice and experience that you can always revisit through recorded sessions.

Every year we create a space where different creative expressions of tattoo artists can be seen — those who go beyond working with skin and express themselves through painting, graphics, street art, sculpture, and other forms of art. From live performances to exhibitions of completed works.
This year, we plan to host a body-art performance featuring costume designs created by tattoo artists specializing in large-scale projects.
Atmosphere — one of the unique features of the forum is that all speakers and participants stay under one roof, where interaction goes beyond formal meetings. New connections can change the trajectory of an entire career. That is why many attend not only for knowledge, but for the people. A comfortable hotel, excellent cuisine, a night bonfire, an open-air pool, beautiful nature, and activities organized by our friends and partners.
