Festival «Mid-Autumn Ink Festival»

   A tattoo festival timed to the full moon of Vietnam's Mid-Autumn Festival: if you have been putting off a design that actually means something, this is a fitting occasion to get it done in a festive setting rather than on a random afternoon.

   The event brings together tradition, symbolism and tattoo art — designs built around reunion, balance and light, the core themes of the holiday. The date is the festival day itself, the full moon of the eighth lunar month.

   The host, Dragon City Ink, is a tattoo and piercing studio in the An Thuong quarter of My An, Da Nang's walkable beachside area, and a regular event venue with more than 20 gatherings behind it.

   The detailed programme will be announced closer to the date — follow the studio's Facebook page for updates.

   «Under the full moon, stories are written in ink», the organisers promise. You may bring yours.
