Museum of Contemporary Tattoos

Open Call for Artists – 2025/2026 Inaugural Program

The Museum of Contemporary Tattoos invites tattoo artists from all backgrounds to take part in a historic and experimental exhibition that lives in augmented reality and on the blockchain.

Our first monument — a glowing AR cube — is permanently installed in Lustgarten, Berlin. One artist is featured at a time, day by day, forming a continuous exhibition in public space. The cube is visible through the museum app on location.

🧷 Who We're Inviting

  • Tattoo artists who approach their work as art, not service
  • Those who believe tattoos can hold meaning, memory, or presence
  • You don’t need any experience with digital tools or blockchain

💎 What You'll Be Part Of

  • Your work shown in the museum’s AR monument in Berlin
  • Featured on the museum’s website and social media
  • Optional NFT edition supported by the museum’s smart contract
  • Part of an international, ongoing collection of tattoo-based art
  • Artist fees (pending public funding — we are actively applying and will communicate transparently with selected artists)

📬 How to Apply

We accept submissions on a rolling basis. First artists announced in September 2025.
