Marche Tattoo Convention

The third edition of the Marche Tattoo Convention took place from April 11 to 13, 2025, at the Raffaello congress center of Hotel Casale in Colli del Tronto, in the province of Ascoli Piceno. Over 200 artists from around the world animated the stands from 10 AM to 10 PM, holding contests in numerous categories: small, lettering, traditional, neo traditional, blackwork, chicano, tribal ornamental, black and gray, realistic color, and realistic black, culminating in the prestigious Best in Show.

The afternoons were filled with non-stop shows: fire performances, the "Sensualimi" lingerie burlesque show, arm wrestling competitions, karate demonstrations, and a concert by the Vikings. Outside, from April 10 to 13, the "Street food & drink" Beer Festival featured country rock concerts, an AC/DC cover band, and DJ sets with music from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. The Best in Show award went to brothers Giovanni and Giordano Trimarchi. The event surpassed the 3,000 attendees recorded the previous year.
