St. Louis Tattoo Festival 2025

The St. Louis Tattoo Festival 2025 is a one-of-a-kind experience that brings together more than 200 of the world’s top tattoo artists for three exciting days of tattooing, art, merchandise, and much more. Taking place at the St. Charles Convention Center, this event offers attendees the chance to get inked by both renowned traveling artists and talented local professionals. While many artists schedule appointments ahead of time, walk-up tattoos will also be available daily on a first-come, first-served basis. Beyond tattooing, the festival promises plenty of engaging activities for everyone. Visitors can browse and purchase unique merchandise from artists and vendors, participate in tattoo contests by showcasing their existing ink, and enjoy watching live competitions featuring some of the best tattooers from around the globe. Artists themselves can stock up on supplies from various vendors for use during the event and for future projects back at their home studios. Each day, a “Tattoo of the Day” contest highlights the finest tattoos created at the festival. Whether you’re planning your very first tattoo, adding to an extensive collection, or simply seeking an entertaining weekend, the St. Louis Tattoo Festival welcomes you with open arms. The show runs from Friday, February 20th through Sunday, February 22nd, with hours from noon to 10 PM on Friday, 11 AM to 10 PM on Saturday, and 11 AM to 7 PM on Sunday. Don’t miss this incredible celebration of tattoo culture in the heart of Saint Charles County!
