Louisville Tattoo Fest 2026

Louisville Tattoo Fest 2026 invites you to the second annual celebration of tattoo culture at the Kentucky International Convention Center. From March 27 to 29, over 200 top-tier artists from around the world will gather in Louisville, offering three full days filled with tattooing, art creation, merchandise sales, and much more. Attendees can book appointments with both local and traveling artists ahead of time, while walk-up tattoo opportunities will also be available daily on a first come, first served basis. For those not looking to get inked, the festival promises plenty of entertainment. Vendors and artists will be selling unique merchandise, and visitors can participate in or watch tattoo contests featuring previously collected tattoos and fresh ink created during the event. Tattoo professionals can purchase supplies from various vendors to use during the festival or to take back to their studios. Each day will feature a “Tattoo of the Day” competition showcasing the finest tattoos done at the fest. Whether you’re seeking your very first tattoo, your hundredth, or simply want to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, Louisville Tattoo Fest 2026 welcomes you. We look forward to seeing you there for an unforgettable experience celebrating the art and culture of tattooing.
