Since 2018, The Ink Factory has established itself as one of Lyon's major tattoo culture events. Each year, this international convention brings together hundreds of artists from all over the world, united by the same ambition: to make tattooing a true form of artistic expression.
For three days, visitors get to watch the creation of hundreds of tattoos live. Delicate little pieces, bold compositions, graphic styles or more spectacular creations: the artists bring to life works that definitely won't end up in a museum. Instead, they'll remain forever etched into their owners' skin.
