WEST AUSTRALIAN TATTOO & ARTS FESTIVAL
GAP YEAR ANNOUNCEMENT!
The love and support we’ve received since day one has been nothing short of incredible. Artists, collectors, and the wider tattoo community have helped grow this show beyond what we could have hoped for in just two mighty years and for that, we’re soulfully grateful.
With that support and love comes a true responsibility. To elevate this event to the levels it deserves we’ve made the heartfelt decision to take a GAP YEAR in 2026.
This time will allow us to refine, reimagine, and return with something even more powerful to match our passion of pushing creativity, culture and experience to the highest standards possible. We’ve never been about just running a show for the sake of it.
If we do our event, it has to mean something to everyone.
This isn’t a step back, it’s a level up.
To all artists ❤️
We will be supporting you all to keep creating, keep travelling, keep connecting. Support the real cultured shows that keep our craft alive and thriving around the world.
From our team to all of you, thank you for believing in this vision.
We promise… what’s planned and coming next will be worth the wait.
The greatest of shows require the greatest of preparations!.
Much love & respect
Angus & Tess
WA Tattoo & Arts Festival Team
