Dublin Tattoo Convention 2026: Location, Dates & What to Wear

What Is the Dublin Tattoo Convention?

The Dublin Tattoo Convention is Ireland's biggest tattoo event, bringing artists from across Europe and beyond together for a weekend of live tattooing, competitions and merch under one roof.

Dublin Tattoo Convention 2026 Location & Dates

The 2026 edition runs 6–8 November at the RDS in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, one of the city's main exhibition venues.

What to Wear: Socks That Match the Ink

A weekend moving between artist booths on exhibition-hall floors calls for socks that can take it. Venture's Tattoo Socks collection – including Viva Jerry and the Skullduggery Box – is built with reinforced heel and toe for exactly this kind of day, and the artwork holds up next to fresh ink rather than looking like an afterthought.

Plan Your Trip

Venture Socks ships to Ireland and across Europe, so there's no excuse to turn up under-dressed for a weekend surrounded by artists who take their look seriously. Browse the full Tattoo Socks collection before you book your flight or ferry.
