On 4th, 5th and 6th November 2011 over 300 international tattoo artists, from all over the globe, work to create some incredible skin art at the fourth Florence Tattoo Convention, hosted again in the historical Fortezza Da Basso.
Fortezza da Basso is a massive palace built between 1534 and 1537, by order of the Medici family, within the fourteenth century walls of the city. In the past it was accommodation of troops and retreat for the rulers in the event of revolt.
Today, it is a fairground and centre for many national and international venues as the amazing Florence Tattoo Convention.
