Sexhibition 2025

We love doing events - it's so much fun to be out in new places, meeting new people and talking about your tattoos and experiences. We've tattooed at conventions, music festivals, gaming bars... even at a wake (but that's definitely a story for another time!). This year we decided to do something different at tattoo at Sexhibition - Helsinki's longest running and biggest erotic fair.

Sexhibition takes place every year around October time and runs for two days at Kaapelitehdas. There are stalls selling everything from corsets and dildos, to custom whips and erotic art. There's a place you can get spanked, dick shaped doughnuts, a private shows lounge and stage shows with pole dancers, burlesque, and some things I won't describe here just in case my mother reads this :)

First of all, we're in Finland, so seeing strangers naked is nothing shocking for us... but tattooing all weekend whilst surrounded by a bunch of semi-clothed, gorgeous Only Fans models is a new peak moment in my tattooing career!

Beany from Secret Society Tattoo came over from the UK to work at the event with us, and I'm glad we had the extra hands because we did not stop tattooing -- it was probably the busiest we've ever been at an event and at one point we actually ran out of basic supplies and had to send someone on an emergency midnight visit to the studio for more! The hours were longer than we're used to (until 1am) so we were exhausted. We had a lot of merch available (check out these art prints I had made especially for it!) and Beany had a selection of hand painted, sexy cards.

We met so many amazing, fun, open and genuine people during our time here, we're only sorry we couldn't tattoo everyone. The good news is, we'll be attending next year with more artists - we can't wait!
