We think tattoo festivals are all about celebrating tattoos and bringing our industry folks together. It's not just for the visitors, but also for artists, a chance to meet, chat, and learn from others in the field, who we usually only see on social media.

Considering this, we believe this time is most appropriate to tell the young generation and tattoo enthusiasts about the beginnings of the scene in Poland, to share [...]
