Ink it up at the Fortezza when the full-bodied eighth edition of the Florence Tattoo Festival comes to town! Tattoo artists from New Zealand, South Korea, Italy and beyond will show off their skills. Stars of the Spike reality show Ink Master are some of this year’s special guests. This is an artistic convention, so don’t expect your average parlor tricks: the global guest list includes Japanese artists who will demonstrate their mastery of Irezumi, ‘hand poke’ pioneers from Papua New Guinea, and more. Tatuaggio not your cup of tea? Performance art, burlesque shows and photography exhibitions are all on the agenda, too. For a detailed program, see www.florencetattooconvention.com.
