DEAR WILDSTYLERS!!
2025 will be a very special year for the WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE!!
Austria's CULT EVENT - the WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE celebrates
"30 YEARS OF WILDSTYLE" !!!
UNBELIEVABLE, BUT TRUE!
30 (!!) YEARS OF WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE!!
The WILDSTYLE is now one of the longest-serving and one of only a very few ANNUAL show productions in Austria, which even after 3 decades still delights thousands of visitors in several cities every year!
The big anniversary "30 years of Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe" is undoubtedly a milestone for Wildstyle inventor & producer Jochen Auer and the Wildstyle crew and they are of course very proud to have made it this far!
In 1995, the WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE was the first tattoo event in Austria and one of only a handful of tattoo shows in Europe. NOBODY believed in it, except Jochen Fckng Auer of course :-)) EVERYONE advised him against it in 1995 - but he knew better :-) ...or rather, he took the risk anyway, and now 30 years later, Wildstyle is still going strong! AWESOME!!
Over the last 30 years, WILDSTYLE has left its mark in the truest sense of the word and made the world more colorful in many ways, "made friends" with people from all over the world and, not least since the 90s, has contributed massively to tattooing becoming mainstream in society!
With more than 2.5 million visitors, the WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE is the most successful tattoo show in Europe - if not the world!
AND THE 4 BIG ANNIVERSARY SHOWS IN VIENNA, WR. NEUSTADT, LINZ AND SALZBURG WILL PUT EVERYTHING BEFORE IN THE SHADOW!!
Dozens of tattoo artists and exhibitors from 25 countries and 5 continents, the crème de la crème of the international tattoo scene & international star guests, cult figures and Wildstyle friends, a sensational & non-stop show program with freak shows, acrobats and showgirls, the newly launched "30 Years of Wildstyle Tattoo Contest", the European Street Food Festival with free admission to the outdoor area, and last but not least with great LIVE CONCERTS on Saturday AND Sunday evening directly on the Wildstyle stage!! - no additional admission! - YES! The live concerts are also included in the Wildstyle admission price!! And all bands play regular concerts in full length and with all the hits!!
EVERY WILDSTYLE SATURDAY the KISS FOREVER BAND will rock the Wildstyle in every city!!
The KISS Forever Band is Europe's only KISS tribute band authorized by KISS and was awarded the title of "No. 1 European KISS Tribute Band" by the original KISS members in 2012, and is more successful than ever since the end of KISS!!
The KISS Forever Band has played more than 1,500 shows in 27 countries in the last 29 years, including as support acts for the Scorpions, Uriah Heep, Gotthard and Slade etc.. and in 2025 they will celebrate their 30th anniversary - just like the WILDSTYLE. And what would be better than celebrating together at the WILDSTYLE 2025 and "firing off" a KISS BEST OF fireworks display - in the truest sense of the word!!
AND EVERY WILDSTYLE SUNDAY, in every city, MOTÖRHEAD legend PHIL CAMPBELL & THE BASTARD SONS will tear the Wildstyle apart with an exclusive MOTÖRHEAD SET – to mark 50 years of Motörhead :- ))
And the star guests already include multiple Guinness world record holders EXCLUSIVELY confirmed for Wildstyle 2025! Among others: THE TATTOO legend ENIGMA – THE PUZZLE MAN, SIDESHOW RAMONE and another sensation with KIROS – THE TWISTED MAN! Kiros is the most elastic man in the world!!
AND AS A BONUS OR SPECIAL TREAT, WE ALSO HAVE THE EUROPEAN STREET FOOD FESTIVAL IN EVERY CITY IN THE FOREQUARTER OF THE WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE WITH FREE ADMISSION!!
THE ENIGMA – The Puzzleman
THE tattoo icon of the global tattoo scene
The Enigma was the first person in the world from the so-called Modern Primitives scene to implement a unique full-body tattoo concept and thus became a worldwide celebrity - and even more of an absolute cult figure in the global tattoo scene!
THE ENIMGA is one of the best sword swallowers in the world and also offers one of the most spectacular freak shows in the world LIVE & ALIVE on stage! His show - breathtaking in the truest sense of the word - is unique, spectacular, famous and infamous!
SIDESHOW RAMONE
UNIQUE AND EXCLUSIVE FOR WILDSTYLE 2025!!
Old-school freak show at its best!!
“SIDESHOW RAMONE” will be showing his sensational show at Wildstyle, which he has also shown at the Glastonbury Festival, among others. The show of the freak show cult figure is mega entertaining, intense and real – NO illusions!!
KIROS - The Twisted Man
Kiros will present his unique "snake performance" live on stage at the Wildstyle & Tattoo trade fairs!
Never before has a human been able to perform such elastic tricks. Kiros - The Twisted Man, is the most elastic person in the world!! A contortionist like the world has never seen!! No matter where Kiros performs, he is THE attraction of the event!
His show can be explained in one word: AMAZING!!!!
THE WILDSTYLE SHOWGIRLS
…and of course no Wildstyle & Tattoo Fair (since 1995) can be complete without THE WILDSTYLE SHOWGIRLS!!
Of course, the most important pillar of Wildstyle is not neglected!!
And so there is already:
SENSATIONAL COMMITMENTS FROM TATTOO ARTISTS FROM 5 CONTINENTS!!!
Since its founding in 1995, the Wildstyle & Tattoo Fair has attracted star tattoo artists from all over the world. Tattoo legends such as Jack Rudy, Leo Zulueta, Bernie Luther, Gill Montie, Spider Webb, but also the "new" heroes of the international tattoo scene such as Mäx from Tattoos to the Max, Leo from Naked Trust, Danny Bullman, Mick Tomo, Mike Bellamy, Shinji Horizakura from the Horitoshi Family, Ishi Keiichi, Augustine Nezumi or Scotty Kelly from Superstition Tattoo N.Y.C. were and still are "on the road" with the Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe!

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE WILDSTYLE & TATTOO FAIR!!
Jochen Auer (inventor & producer of the Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe) would have never thought that his idea and concept would make such an impact, reach millions of people and help to gain tolerance – and most of all make the world a more colorful place! A lot of people don't like this and the popularity of tattoos but the crazy idea from back in the days turned into reality and the WILDSTYLE is still on tour.
In the middle of the 90s the Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe was THE flash point of the tattoo hype that continues until today. An incredible 2 million (!!) visitors have seen the Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe live until today – which makes Wildstyle Europe's most successful tattoo show!!
How is that even possible – not only Jochen Auer asks himself that but many others too.
One secret of the incredible success of the WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE Jochen Auer is willing to share here with you:
"The Wildstyle Gang" is spread all over the world and sticks together like glue. We don't care where somebody is from or what he looks like. We don't care either if he is tattooed or not. But it does matter to us that EVERBODY is cool and tolerant.
People from all over the world – from around 25 countries and 5 continents – want one and the same thing, stick together and step on the gas together – some of the Wildstyle gang for more than 25 years now. I am of the opinion that many things in this world would be better if many, many people – no matter what they look like, where they come from and what they believe in, would try to reach something together!!"
Jochen Auer
Erfinder & Produzent der Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe
WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE – the epitome for a European, if not worldwide unique idea comes back to Austria in 2024 after the huge success of the last years!!
Wildstyle merges different cultures and artists, tattoo artists and exhibitors from 4 continents and over 20 countries in an incredible way! For now 25 years the name "Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe" stands for "International Festival of Tolerance"!
Tattoos, piercing, extravagant fashion, biker wear, club wear, shoes, jewelry, accessories, lingerie, Metal & Rockabilly style, custom bikes & accessories, airbrush, tattoo models and a spectacular and also unique nonstop show program – performed by freaks, artists, acrobats and showgirls with unique stunts and attractions will fascinate the audience also in 2025!
In 1995 Jochen Auer (creator and producer of Wildstyle) wrote what was probably one of the craziest show concepts of that time and was able to get 2 million visitors. The revolutionary concept and the long tours through Europe helped changing history and the acceptance of tattoos and piercings and made both trends more accessible to a broader public.
However, tattoos and piercings and the "wild" lifestyle still polarize, the reason why Jochen Auer and his team still organize the "Wildstyle & Tattoo Messe" in its 30th year.
Having tattoos means much more than wearing colorful pictures on your skin, it has become way more than a trend and no part of society or occupational group can get away from it. Actually one can say that more and more people around the globe realize that having tattoos is a way of life, which goes through all ages (not under 18 nevertheless), irrespective of conservative values.
According to the latest studies every 4th Austrian is tattooed. And the numbers are rising – THIS IS GREAT!
THE WILDSTYLE & TATTOO MESSE IS EUROPE'S MOST SUCCESSFUL AND SPECTACULAR TATTOO PROJECT. SEVERAL TRUCKS, DOZENS OF VANS AND MORE THAN 350 PEOPLE, ARTISTS, EXHIBITORS AND TATTOO ARTISTS FROM MORE THAN 25 COUNTRIES ARE PART OF THE WILDSTYLE TOURING PARTY.
