In the organizer's words:

A cooperation between Truly Yours and Kulturzentrum Schlachthof Wiesbaden e.V.
Tattoo art festival in the KESSELHAUS and in the HALLE

The Truly Yours Tattoo Fest is a two-day cultural festival taking place on June 6 and 7, 2026 - in cooperation between Truly Yours and the Schlachthof.

The focus is on tattoo art, subculture and interdisciplinary creativity. International tattoo artists will present their work, enter into an exchange with other forms of artistic expression and transform the Schlachthof into a lively space for modern tattoo culture.

A varied accompanying program of performances, exhibitions, readings and lectures expands the view beyond pure body art and creates new artistic connections.

The aim of the festival is to make tattoo art visible as a serious form of cultural expression, to reposition it in the context of various art disciplines and to facilitate exciting dialogues between international artists, local references and urban aesthetics.

The mixture of fair, art exhibition and cultural supporting program creates a festival that appeals to art enthusiasts, subculture scene goers and the curious urban population alike.

The first edition in Mannheim in 2024 was already a complete success: over 1,500 visitors, consistently positive media coverage and an enthusiastic response. The festival was organized out of pure passion - by the core team consisting of Thomas Haug and Clemens Hahn, supported by dedicated volunteers who put their heart and soul into making the project possible.

For 2026, Truly Yours will be further developed and raised to a new level: more artistic, more networked, more visible. The aim is to establish the festival as a permanent fixture in Wiesbaden's cultural landscape and to connect the regional and international tattoo scene.

Truly Yours Tattoo Fest 2026 - Wiesbaden will become a hotspot for tattoo culture, art and creative energy.
