The South African International Tattoo Convention

The South African International Tattoo Convention is a three-day celebration of tattoo culture, art, music, and community in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa.

Featuring more than 150 tattoo artists from over 24 countries, SAITC offers the opportunity to get tattooed by some of the world's most respected international and local artists across a huge range of styles.

Proudly tattooer-owned and operated, the convention was built from a genuine love of tattooing and the community that surrounds it. Every year, artists, collectors, and enthusiasts from around the world come together for an unforgettable weekend in one of the world's most beautiful cities.

Alongside world-class tattooing, enjoy live music, DJs, craft beer, cocktails, local food, art, shopping, and an atmosphere that celebrates creativity and connection.
