Step inside the world of El Bara, one of Europe’s most respected traditional tattoo artists, known worldwide for timeless American Traditional tattoos.

Dermatologist Mila Poelhekken will present a lecture on tattoo-related complications based on work at a specialized tattoo clinic.

This session will help tattoo artists spot warning signs early and improve collaboration with dermatology.

This talk explores the history of traditional tattooing in the Philippines and how Filipinos today use it to honor their heritage and strengthen identity in a globalized world. It seeks to recognize the cultures and people who preserved these traditions, address common misconceptions, and inspire others to appreciate and celebrate this shared art form. A Q&A will follow the seminar.

This 45-minute talk focuses on transforming limiting beliefs that keep artists stuck in comparison, self-doubt, and the pressure to constantly prove themselves. Instead of chasing validation, we explore how to shift toward a builder’s mindset, focusing on process, resilience, and long-term growth, so creativity becomes lighter, more honest, and more sustainable.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, an Italian anthropologist introduced the theory of tattooing as atavism. The idea spread across Europe and the United States, linking tattooing to criminality and supposed primitivism.
This conference examines the theory’s origins, its influence in Italy and abroad, and why it is now considered scientifically outdated.

With a design process heavily influenced by mathematics, Felix will guide you through the digital process of creating mandala’s, ornamental motifs and geometric patterns, suitable for and flowing with the natural forms of the body.

In this seminar, Florencio will explore the structure and layout of traditional Japanese tattooing. He will explain background flow, body positioning, and how to build strong, harmonious compositions that move naturally with the body. You’ll gain insight into the fundamentals of designing a cohesive bodysuit and learn key principles of balance, rhythm, and flow that can strengthen your overall approach to tattooing.
