The Beirut Tattoo Festival is finally here, and it’s about to make history as the first of its kind in the MENA region! Happening from May 2-4 at Forum de Beyrouth, this is the place to be if you’re a tattoo lover or just curious about the art form.

The festival kicks off on May 2 from 4 PM to 10 PM, with the fun continuing from 12 PM to 12 AM on the following days. You’ll get to see international and local tattoo artists in action, along with a variety of exciting activities like live graffiti, fire shows, and a killer live band. DJs will keep the vibe alive all weekend long, while workshops give you the chance to learn some new skills.

There will also be competitions with trophies and prizes up for grabs, plus plenty of giveaways throughout the event. And if that wasn’t enough, the festival closes with an epic after-party to keep the fun going.

With top-tier judges like Kosai El Rifai, Chino Carretero, Peter Saba, and Hady Beydoun, this event is set to be a celebration of creativity, art, and self-expression you won’t forget.
