Still not over it. 🥹🖤

A few glimpses from a weekend that went by way too fast. Three days of tattoos, art, music, familiar faces, new friendships and a whole lot of memories.

We’re already feeling nostalgic for the East Cork Tattoo Convention… and maybe the best cure for that is to start working on the next one. 👀

Yep, ECTC 2027 is already in the works.

Thank you to every artist, vendor, performer, crew member and every single person who came through the doors and made this edition what it was.

See you next year. 🖤
Stay tuned. This is only the beginning.

A little photo dump from today at the East Cork Tattoo Convention 🖤✨

What a way to close out the weekend. Tattoos, art, music, workshops, familiar faces, new friends and so many little moments in between.

Three days absolutely flew by, and today was the perfect ending. 🥹

To every artist, vendor, performer, crew member and every single person who walked through those doors this weekend: THANK YOU. You made this convention what it was.

Our hearts (and camera rolls) are very, very full. 🖤
