Come and meet Sweet Tattoo at Glitched 2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Gaming is not just about what we play, it's about who we are. Our favourite games, characters and worlds follow us through life. At Glitched 2026, you'll have the chance to take that step fully<\/strong>!

Multi-award-winning tattoo artist Filip St\u00e5ngberg will be at the festival to tattoo visitors live on site alongside Andy Storm with over 18 years of experience.<\/strong>

We sat down for an interview to get to know Filip and hear more about his passion for gaming and pop culture tattoos. But before we dive into the interview, Andy also wanted to share his journey and what inspires him most.

Since he started 18 years ago, Andy has been passionate about geeky tattoos with bright colours and distinct character. He loves creating designs inspired by classic video games, comics and iconic visual styles, tattoos that evoke nostalgia and tell a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Filip! Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Filip<\/figure>
\n

Hi there! My name is Filip St\u00e5ngberg and I am a multi-award winning tattoo artist who has been tattooing for over 10 years. I mainly specialise in colour tattoos, but what is really close to my heart are motifs from games, movies and pop culture, such as Pok\u00e9mon, anime and other iconic characters.

Gaming themes are often very personal to people. It could be a game you grew up with, a character that inspired you, or a memory linked to a certain time in your life. To help someone carry that with them permanently is very special.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get tattooed right at the festival<\/strong> - How does it work if you want to get a tattoo on Glitched?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We will be running a drop-in programme throughout the festival, mainly with smaller motifs. It's first come, first served, and you sign up on a list and leave your phone number. Then we'll let you know when it's your turn, so you can continue to walk around and enjoy the festival in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it easy and spontaneous - no need to plan everything in advance. From Pok\u00e9mon to your own ideas...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you tattoo under Glitched?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There will be lots of ready-made designs inspired by games, film and pop culture. Everything from classic characters to modern favourites<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can also bring your own ideas. Many people want to make something personal, perhaps inspired by their favourite game or a memory from the gaming world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing is that the tattoo means something to the person who will wear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the gaming culture<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Getting a tattoo at a gaming festival is more than just a tattoo, it's a way to carry your passion. Gaming is culture, identity and community, and at Glitched, all these expressions come together<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Glitched 2026, Filip and Andy will be on site during the festival, tattooing visitors live. To get a tattoo, you need to be over 18 years old, and remember that getting a tattoo is a lifelong decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to take a piece of Glitched home with you forever? Now is your chance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
