Highlights
The Hong Kong China International Tattoo Convention 2026 returns from October 16–18, 2026, at Soho House Hong Kong. Hosted by the Hong Kong-based tattoo tech firm "Oh My Ink," this edition connects world-class tattoo artists with creative communities for an unparalleled body art celebration.
Technology Meets Art: AI Tattoo Preview
The event’s main attraction is the debut of the world-first AI Tattoo Preview system by Oh My Ink. Using advanced computer vision and real-time image rendering, the system scans skin tone, muscle definition, and body contours. Visitors can instantly preview how custom tattoo designs look on their skin, adjusting size and placement before ever committing to a needle. This innovative technology bridges the gap between client and artist, ensuring confidence in every design.
Programs and Performers
Beyond the tattoo showcase, the event features a vibrant lineup of crossover activities:
- Live Performances: Experience live music from DJ Fergus and Just Play The Guitar, with appearances by 1208studio and Shijie Guitars, blending the rhythm of music with the craft of tattooing.
- Exclusive Merchandise: A special collaboration with popular tattoo artist Meow Meow brings the "2026 CHIBI" limited edition memorial tee to life, blending retro aesthetics with streetwear culture.
- Tattoo Competitions: On the final day (October 18), professional competitions will be held in Black & Grey, Color, and Student categories, featuring a "Best of Show" award. Winners may receive an AI tattoo preview machine to support their future creative endeavors.
