Oslo Tattoo Show #1

Oslo Tattoo Show 2025

After a long pause since the last official convention in 2012, and none held since 2019, Oslo is finally hosting the first full-scale tattoo convention in Norway. This marks a powerful return for the tattoo community, bringing together over 50 tattooers from across the U.S., Europe, Scandinavia, and our own local Oslo scene.
This year’s poster was specially designed by Jack Rudy, one of the most respected figures in tattoo history. Jack was also meant to be our honored guest. After his passing in January 2025, we decided to continue this journey in his spirit. The Good Time Charlie’s Tattoo land crew – celebrating their 50-year anniversary – will join us in Oslo to represent Jack’s legacy. His wife, Carrie Rudy, will be present with a heartfelt shrine, exclusive merch, his lettering book, and other items from his incredible career.

As part of the celebration, we are also showcasing a mini-museum dedicated to tattoo history, highlighting the evolution of the craft, displaying original flash, books, letters, and tools that tell the story of where we come from and where we’re going.

We’ll host a tattoo competition, where both tattooers and their clients can compete across multiple categories, with unique prizes created by Fernando Odd one in collaboration with El Rana for best of show prize.

Beyond tattooing, the show is packed with good vibes:

• Two bars and a grill for food.
• Outdoor seating and live music.
• Shibari performance.
• And even temporary water tattoos for kids, so everyone can join in the fun.

This is more than a convention – it’s a celebration of craft, culture, and community. Whether you’re a tattooer, collector, enthusiast, or just curious, this event is for you.
