SECOND "TATTOO SHOW" IN BANJA LUKA TO FEATURE OVER 80 INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS

The second annual "Tattoo Show" in Banja Luka is set to take place from April 25 to 27, bringing together more than 80 tattoo artists from around the world.

Igor Pešić, president of the Tattoo Lovers Association "BL Tattoo Studio" and the event’s main organizer, said the goal of the gathering is to promote tattooing as a form of art while also supporting humanitarian causes.

The event will feature both competitive and exhibition segments, and visitors will once again have the opportunity to witness the tattooing process live, as some of the world’s top tattoo artists create their masterpieces.

"This year, we’re continuing our humanitarian mission with a fundraising booth for the ongoing treatment of young Banja Luka resident Sergej Stupar in Moscow. Last year, we raised over 10,000 KM, and I’m confident we can do the same this time," said Pešić.

He also highlighted a special booth dedicated to supporting the Safe House, aiming to raise awareness about the prevention of violence against women.

Pešić noted that last year’s event drew over 1,000 tourists to the city on the Vrbas River and expressed hope that this year’s edition will achieve similar success.
