Lexington Tattoo Expo

The Lexington Tattoo Expo, scheduled for July 2-5, 2026, is a premier event celebrating the profound intersection of tradition, art, and individual expression. It highlights how each tattoo tells a unique story, beautifully reflecting a blend of historical roots and contemporary influences within body art. Visitors are invited to explore the remarkable talents of many featured artists, witness live competitions for various awards, and marvel at the incredible range of artistic styles on display. For individuals eager to get new artwork, artists will be accepting walk-up requests for same-day tattooing. Alternatively, you can secure an appointment by contacting your preferred artists directly in advance. Please note, a strict age requirement is enforced: all clients must be 18 years of age or older to receive any tattooing services at the expo.
