An artist works on a tattoo during the International Nepal Tattoo Convention in Lalitpur, Nepal, on April 11, 2026. The 13th edition of the convention celebrates body art and includes daily competitions among exhibitors. Artists are assigned stalls to create tattoos using permitted ink, with categories such as ``Ornamental, Tribal, and Dot Tattoo`` open to entries of any size and color. The event showcases the artists` creativity and skill. However, ongoing tensions in the Middle East have affected attendance, with some artists unable to participate due to flight route changes and cancellations. Convention director Bijay Shrestha notes the impact of these issues, mentioning the absence of several regular attendees.
