More than 120 tattoo artists from around the world will come together for the 2024 South African International Tattoo Convention (SAITC) taking place in Cape Town from 29 – 31 March. This highly curated event is recognised as one of the best tattoo artist showcases worldwide, and is the only one of its kind in Africa. The three-day-long experience draws travelling artists from more than 20 countries to South Africa and further cements Cape Town as a premier cultural destination and hub.
Founder, Waldo Del Rocca, reflects on the evolution of tattooing, citing its remarkable advancement and ever-growing popularity. “The art of tattooing has progressed in leaps and bounds over recent years, and with a surge in popularity, tattoo art has reached new heights,” says del Rocca. “We began this event six years ago to bring the world’s best tattoo artists to South Africa.”
The convention will boast a line-up comprising 70% international talent alongside 30% local artists. Featured tattoo artists at this year’s convention are highlighted HERE.
