The Paradise Tattoo Gathering is an intimate tattoo convention hidden away in the hills of Western Massachusetts. It’s unique location allows some of the world's most talented custom tattoo artists to ply their trade in a focused relaxed environment amongst nature and insure that the event is filled exclusively with truly motivated lovers of the tattoo culture. Education, inspiration, and sharing responsibly is the primary focus of the event and theme of the weekend. Tattoo artists and apprentices learn by getting tattooed, watching many masters at work, and by the numerous educational seminars and panels taught by experts in the field of custom tattooing throughout the Gathering. The public can learn all about the very best that tattooing has to offer as they see true masterpieces being tattooed right in front of their eyes. The Paradise Tattoo Gathering is designed for custom tattoo artists, apprentices, apprentice hopefuls, and tattoo collectors. Jiminy Peak is a unique location away from the hustle and bustle, a place filled with peace and quiet and serious focus on custom tattooing. (Oh and an alpine slide!). Thanks to everyone for 10 years of amazing support. Artist picked receives:
