The Tattoo Circus began 2007 in Rome and since then, activists from all around Europe (Barcelona, London, Thessaloniki, Bern, Athens, Madrid… etc) took on the concept for supporting those people who can’t be among us.
The idea behind this solidarity event is to create a space where tattoo culture and political engagement come together. Several tattoo artists will provide their creativity, experience and as much ink as possible, in order to support the anti-prison struggle and to become a part of it.
The principle of the Tattoo Circus is that nobody earns anything from this event – neither the tattooists, nor the piercers, the bands, performers or speakers will work for their own profit-and the complete proceeds will get to those people who fight against the state and capitalism.
It is also important that, as opposed to some established conventions, Tattoo Circus takes place in a non-competitive, non-commercial and non-hierarchical atmosphere. Every euro collected in TC goes directly to structures supporting prisoners and the Anti-Prison-Fight.

For a society without prisons and repression!

Until it breaks!
