Royal Tattoo Expo

The Royal Tattoo Expo returns for its second annual South Dakota event, taking place at the Royal River Casino & Hotel in Flandreau, SD (607 S Veterans St.) from April 3-5, 2026. Following a completely sold-out debut, this year promises increased energy and an elevated experience. Attendees can look forward to more Ink Master celebrities, top-tier artists, and renowned guests, alongside captivating live shows, exclusive merchandise, food trucks, and exciting after-parties. Potential MMA or boxing events are also pending. For professional artists aiming to join an elite lineup, booth applications are officially open. One-third of the available spaces are already reserved. Interested professionals should apply soon to secure their spot, as availability is limited and will close once all booths are full.
