The Royale Competition
A Stage for the World's Greatest Tattoo Masterpieces
The Tattoo Competition Stage is the beating heart of this convention — and that is no coincidence. This event was conceived with one clear and uncompromising vision: to celebrate tattoo art in its purest, most elevated form, free from distractions. Here, tattooing is not simply one element among many.
It is everything.
Over the course of the convention weekend, the Stage will showcase some of the most extraordinary tattoo artwork in the world —masterpieces representing the very pinnacle of what the art form can achieve on a global scale. Every piece on display is a testament to the craft, the culture, and the dedication that define tattooing at its highest level.
Filip Leu, Luke Atkinson, Tin-Tin, JunII Salmon, and Mark Mahoney – PH by ZOZIOS
Judging will be entrusted to a jury of internationally acclaimed tattoo experts — leading figures from the global tattoo: Filip Leu, Luke Atkinson, Tin-Tin, Junii Salmon, and Mark Mahoney. Special guests will also join the panel: Carlos Torres for the Black & Grey category and Nissaco for the Ornamental category — bringing deep specialization and focused expertise in their respective disciplines, and raising the bar even further across the board.
The prizes awarded on stage carry a significance that goes far beyond competition. Each trophy — a unique object forged by silversmiths El Rana, inspired by the visual language of devotional art— is itself a work of art, conceived to reflect the importance of what it recognizes.
