Gods of ink tattoo convention 2023
2023 was the first edition of a tattoo convention that is shaping up to be the One to look out for in the years to come on a worldwide scale, Gods of Ink. Frankfurt the location, Miki Vialetto the organiser. Miki has been organising the best tattoo conventions in Europe for over 25 years. After overseeing successful conventions in the likes of Milan and London, he is now focusing on Frankfurt. The list of tattoo artists at this event was incredible. From old timers to up and coming tattooers, every style was covered. We had our very own Claudia De Sabe and Teide, working and representing one of the few london based tattoo shops invited to attend.
Over the course of an amazing 3 days, Claudia and Teide sold artwork and prints, and tattooed until late everyday! The public were so enthusiastic and they couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Claudia tattooed some ribs, a half-sleeve and some one-shot tattoos on travelling customers who came from all over Europe for this truly unforgettable event.
The poster for this first edition was designed by the one and only The Grime, a genuine living legend and style-bender from the West coast, who unfortunately couldn't attend the event. Nonetheless, it was great meeting and seeing old friends, such as Doryu-San, Rudy Fritch, Stizzo, Alex holyfox, Nikole Lowe, KANAE, Brian kaneko, Rico and Shion of Daruma Goya, Filoluino, Hanumantra, Horiken, Horihiro, Todd Noble, Joao Bosco and Alexander Grimm.
The quality of tattooing at this event was absolutely incredible. The team are looking forward to next year’s edition!

102 colour paintings painted by Dan "Magic" Moreno.
This book is an amazing hybrid of artistic references as well as a truly unique insight into Dan “Magic” Moreno and his Artwork. It features a rich variety of subjects - from classic motives, Japanese icons and fantasy figures, all passed through the filter of Dan, which generates those fun twists and characteristics in his breathtaking designs. A lot of these inspirational subjects have translated into Dan’s amazing tattoo work and have been very influential on his style which is predominantly Traditional Tattoos and Colour Tattoos with stunningly crisp, bold lines and beautifully vibrant colours.
This book is a journey through a magical world where everything is possible. It was released on the 22nd of February by Atonement books and it was created to showcase a collection of his recent flash designs including interview with the artist. If you would like to purchase one of these amazing books before they are gone you can BUY ONE HERE.
