SixLove Events and Tattoos.com, in association with SL
Magazine and Levi's Original Music, are proud to present Cape
Town's first-ever International tattoo festival!
Southern Ink Xposure comprises a series of events (tattoo
convention, local & international art exhibitions, screenings, talks,
discussion panels, live collaborative art events, top-notch music
concerts, charity events), which aim to showcase and celebrate our local
and global tattoo culture.
Following the success of Northern Ink Xposure (held
annually in Toronto, Canada, this year celebrating its tenth anniversary),
an event which draws artists from 25 countries and four continents,
Southern Ink Xposure promises to be a fixture on the International tattoo
calendar for years to come.
