Throwback to BWC26 The Convention Days!

To everyone who travelled from near and far, tattooed, exhibited, performed, volunteered, supported, or simply came to experience it all - thank you. You are what makes Blackwork Convention what it is.

While we’re reminiscing, we’re also already looking ahead.

Blackwork 2027 is well underway, and this time we have even more hands on deck. More people, new ideas, and new energy are coming together behind the scenes to create something even stronger while staying true to what Blackwork has always been about.

Until then, thank you for making 2026 unforgettable.

Love from the Grave. 🖤

Blackwork Convention 2026 - The Gathering Days

First of all, a colossal shoutout to @royalbeerdk , @anarkistbrewing , and @fernetbrancadanmark for sponsoring one hell of a boat party. You helped us push this gathering to new heights, and for that, we are more than grateful.

A little over a month ago, we closed the doors, chained the coffin shut, and laid Blackwork Convention 2026 to rest - only so it can rise again for next year’s obliteration. Yet the memories still leave us with a shit-eating grin on our faces. It has been an absolute pleasure opening the doors to our little dungeon and watching it fill with good people, old friends, and new faces from all corners of the scene.

A MASSIVE thank you also goes to Quest Master @lordgordith and Rotten Orc @ardengufffff for making our very first in-house concert a reality. We might be biased, but the intimacy, atmosphere, and full on talent made it one of the best shows we’ve ever witnessed…. The neighbors might disagree though….

Thank you, Lord Gordith and Rotten Orc, for bringing the music, the energy, and the good vibes. You’ll always have a place here in Copenhagen… but bring your Magic decks next time.

Until we gather again - stay tuned for “The Convention Days” video !

See you next year for The Gathering Days.

Love from the Grave. 🖤

Blackwork Tattoo Convention 2025: The Convention Days

Here’s a glimpse into the chaos, craft, and camaraderie that filled the convention days.
It’s nearly impossible to fit such a packed weekend into a reel under 60 seconds - but we hope this clip captures just a fraction of the atmosphere.

If not, you’ll just have to come feel it for yourself next year - when we once again fire up the machines, roll the dice, and celebrate the dark arts with cold drinks and heavy tunes.

🖤🍻🖤

Blackwork Tattoo Convention 25: The Artist Gathering

Hosted by @graventattoo 

The Artist Gathering happens the day before the convention opens to the public—and has become a yearly tradition, a highlight, and a day we value just as much as the main event.

It’s a chance to unwind, meet the artists and helping hands behind the booths, and connect on a level that often gets lost in the chaos of convention days. Whether you’re looking to expand your network in the world of blackwork tattooing or just want a solid excuse to get buzzed with new friends, this gathering sets the tone for everything that follows. Compared to the usual all-work-no-play convention atmosphere (with all due respect), this is where we take the time to actually get to know each other.

A massive thank you goes out to the people who made this year’s gathering unforgettable:

🕹️ @bipbipbar – for hosting us and providing a ton of arcade-fueled chaos. Beating someone in Mortal Kombat is still one of the best icebreakers out there.

🍺 @sorterenekbh – for welcoming us with open arms and real warmth.

🐗 @warpigs_brewpub_cph – for setting the vibe just right with an epic pre-party and two killer shows featuring @crownthebeast and @theviolentdeath 

Here’s to solid ink, good people, and nights we barely remember 🍻
