Whether you’re seeking a bold new piece or a subtle design, you’ll find the perfect artist to bring your vision to life. Alongside tattooing and piercing, enjoy custom jewelry, CBD products, chair massages, and delicious food throughout the weekend.

Daily admission is $20, except for Thursday and Friday before 5 PM, when it’s $15, and a 3-day weekend pass is offered at $35. Don’t miss the incredible free tattoo giveaways—two free tattoos each day from Friday to Sunday, with a total prize value of $1,200. The free raffle for these giveaways requires entrants to be 18 or older, with a valid ID, and winners must be present when announced during the day. All ages are welcome to attend the event. The show also includes a series of contests spanning the weekend to celebrate tattoo artistry. Categories range from Best Cover-Up, Best Traditional (American), Best Neo-Traditional/New School, to various pieces like Arm or Leg, Chest or Back, and Most Unusual or Realistic. Saturday features awards in Black & Grey, Color Fusion, Portraits, and size-specific categories, while Sunday highlights Best of the Day and Best of Show distinctions in Black & Grey and Color.
