Dutdutan Tattoo Convention 2025

“Dutdutan” – A celebration of art and ink. Dutton is currently the nation’s biggest and grandest annual tattoo exposition, presented by Tribal Gear Philippines.

A venue for the finest of skin arts, this is the one event where acclaimed tattoo artists, enthusiasts, supporters, and even curious first-timers gather to marvel, get inked, compete, and experience skin artistry at its best. Dutton is also the one place and time when age and social status cross boundaries to take pleasure in a very personal and intimate brand of self-expression.

Taking on a different level each year, Dutdutan brings in more and more tattoo artists from all over the country and the world. Participants from other countries have taken an interest in this extraordinary event and would want to experience tattoo ‘Pinoy’ style.

Highlights of Dutdutan include competitions for creativity and innovation among the best tattoo artists in the local scene. Premier inkers battle for prestige in various categories, exhibiting ingenuity and artistic mastery in the field of skin art. ‘Tattoo of the Day’ remains the most coveted award as artists from this category create their entries on the day itself, giving everyone a chance to actually witness a master at work, and how art pieces are created on the skin.

The expo also displays exceptional pieces done by sought-after tattoo artists, and the various styles and designs one may choose to get inked – all artistically and skillfully done on epidermal canvas. Apart from actual tattooing, booths are also installed to hold anything and everything about the tattoo, from simple souvenirs to the more complicated tattoo paraphernalia made available to those who need it, and want to further explore the art.

Essentially, Dutdutan as an event initiates the evolution and elevation of tattoos as an art form – one of the many ways of self-expression that have long been regarded as taboo, as it always appealed to the rebel crowd and the unconventional. But now, tattoos are considered to be mainstream art, as more celebrities started having them. Famous personalities, not just the obscure, were not only getting tattoos but were displaying them proudly. Suddenly, the status of body art had dramatically improved and its stigma was fading fast.

During this period of evolution, scores of true body art supporters have come out and shown pride in their tattoos. And now we have a community of strong and loyal tattoo enthusiasts that will see body art through its evolution at every stage. This is exactly what makes each Dutdutan event one hell of a joyride.
