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 2023 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 2023!
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 25th 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.
