Ink About It!

The tattoo scene is not only still male-dominated, but also often misogynistic and queer-hostile, which leads to the fact that some tattoo artists do not want to participate in large tattoo fairs. As a result, Hamburg-based tattoo artist Hanadi, together with Kampnagel and other tattoo artists, founded her own mini-convention in 2019 at which there is no room for discrimination or toxic masculinity.

As part of the tattoo convention, visitors will also have the opportunity to choose motifs by artist Valentina Medda and have a piece of Kampnagel stitched under their skin live on site. The motifs come from a photographic collection in which the artist has captured the "scars and wounds" that can be found on the walls of the Kampnagel factory: Scratches, cracks and furrows in the masonry.

Under the heading PUBLICUMSSANIERUNG we gather various artists who support our audience in becoming who they want to be: Geraldine Schabraque offers chic hairstyles, makes the eyes of the audience shine with her brow art and pampers the underarm hair with fresh colors; visitors can upgrade their clothes with stylish Kampnagel prints and the nail studio ensures that the polish will not be off for a long time.
