The Iron Gate is honoured to bring yet another unforgettable convention experience. What began as a celebration of tattoo artistry has quickly evolved into one of Australia’s most anticipated cultural events. And this year, we’re turning up the volume.

For the first time ever, we’re transforming the outdoor forecourt into a mini hardcore music festival, featuring live performances from some of the most exciting acts in the scene. We will also be hosting The Eastern Metro Pathway NSW Strong Man competition where the winners will be heading to The Arnolds Ohio Strongman Championship in the USA to compete on the world stage. Inside, we’ll be expanding our tattoo talks, seminars, and panel discussions, adding more competitions, and showcasing interactive activations that blend tattoo artistry with fashion, art exhibitions, motorcycles and street culture.

Over the last year we have hand-picked some of the world’s best and most respected international tattoo artists and are bringing them to Australian shores. With the entire Australian and New Zealand tattoo industry backing the event, we are focusing on only the highest quality work.

Whether it’s Japanese/oriental, traditional, neo traditional, realism, colour realism, black and grey, tribal, geometric, pattern work, fine line, Chicano, black work, anime, we have the best artist within each style of tattooing, so there will be something for you!

The Iron Gate 2025 is more than a tattoo convention – it’s a living, breathing creative movement.

We’ve created a space where artists and audiences have the opportunity to connect on a deeper level.

Built by artists, driven by culture, for the community.
