2025 - VOL. II „INNER SELF”

Location: KiZ – Kultur im Zentrum, Giessen
Duration: August 16 – September 14, 2025

The second edition of Signs of the Times focused on the theme “Inner Self” – an artistic exploration of one’s inner world, emotions, identity, and personal growth.
More than 100 international tattooers presented works offering insight into individual thoughts and emotional landscapes.
The focus was not on tattooing itself, but on the artistic perspective of those who tattoo – and how they translate their inner processes into other visual forms.

Accompanying the exhibition, the documentary “Tattoo. Art. Inner Self.” gives voice to artists, visitors, and curators, offering multiple perspectives on the project and its creative context.
