The third annual South African International Tattoo Convention, running from 29 to 31 March 2019, sees 90 tattoo artists from 15 countries come together in Cape Town.

A range of styles and designs will be showcased over the course of the three days, from Brooklyn-based Jenna Bouma’s handpoked creations to local artists like Matthew Oldfield (who will also be joined by Palm Black Tattoo Co. colleague Ninjabreadboy. Read our recent interview with Ninjabreadboy).

Here, in alphabetical order, are just 10 of the 90 multitalented artists to take note of.
