Tattoo circuses tour around Europe being held in different cities for the benefit of prisoners. Tattoo Circus is a self-organized festival with clear political characteristics. T.C. is not a way of promoting tattoos and piercings as a lifestyle. Previously they have been held in Berlin, London, Madrid, Athens and Zaragoza, amongst other cities. Art-activists oneslutriot and George F attended the Thessaloniki one in July and then the Berlin festival after receiving microgrants to support their travel and per diem and to promote intercultural exchange and development for these emerging artists.
