“The picturesque town of New Plymouth on New Zealand’s North Island played host to an amazing convention late last year, a weekend of sunshine on the beautiful seaside town set the tone for one of the best conventions Australia & New Zealand has ever seen” - Tattoos Down Under Magazine (Australia)
Welcome to the NZ Tattoo & Art Festival website. November 2012, New Plymouth will again play host to the New Zealand Tattoo & Art Festival, which has proven to be the biggest and boldest of its kind in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Tattoo & Art Festival, promoted by Oni Events will showcase some of the top international and local tattoo artists and expose the public to the history, art and culture of tattooing. Along with tattooing, the festival will feature live music, burlesque, art exhibitions, tattoo competitions, graffiti art displays and more.
