The five editions of the Yearbook will be released at newsstands across Europe—each at its own time starting from October—in German, Italian, English, French, and Spanish, offering a broad and diverse look at the very best in international tattooing.
The Tattoo Life Yearbooks will be available in nearly every European country, including Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, France, Benelux, as well as the Usa and Canada.
A true showcase for tattoo artists, the Yearbooks are also a trusted point of reference for enthusiasts, professionals, and ink collectors alike. These iconic volumes, curated and published by Tattoo Life — a name that has represented tattoo culture for over 25 years — are far more than simple compilations.
They are visual and inspirational guides for anyone seeking their next tattoo, looking to discover a particular artist, or looking for a tattooist in a destination they plan to visit. Tattoo tourism is on the rise, with many tattoo lovers now traveling specifically to get tattooed. That’s why these guides provide an annual, in-depth map of the global tattoo art scene. Being featured means having a real presence on the international tattoo stage. Just as we rely on online platforms to find hotels, restaurants, or services, these Yearbooks have become a go-to resource for discovering tattoo artists around the world.
Every edition includes hundreds of tattoos and styles—from timeless classics to unique reinterpretations that blend references, tell stories, express passions, and reflect identities. Flipping through a Yearbook feels like stepping into a virtual studio, where every artist has the space to let their talent shine — through a respected channel followed by thousands of readers and tattoo enthusiasts worldwide.
For tattooists, it’s a concrete opportunity to promote their work, connect with new clients, and expand their reach beyond the local scene.
