About this edition
The 2nd annual Louisville Tattoo Fest 2026 invites you to experience three days of exceptional artistry, hosting over 200 premier tattoo artists from around the globe and within the local community. This vibrant event provides a unique opportunity for attendees to get tattooed, witness live art creation, and acquire exclusive merchandise. Visitors have the option to book tattoo sessions with their preferred artists in advance, or they can explore daily walk-up opportunities, which will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Even without getting tattooed, the festival offers abundant entertainment. Attendees can browse and purchase merchandise from artists and vendors, enter their previously collected tattoos into contests, observe live competitions, and watch some of the world's finest artists practice their craft firsthand. A 'Tattoo of the Day' competition will highlight outstanding new work created each day of the festival. For participating artists, the event also serves as a convenient platform to acquire professional supplies from a variety of vendors, suitable for use at the convention or to take back to their home shops. Whether you're seeking your very first tattoo, adding to an extensive collection, or simply looking for a fun and engaging experience, the festival welcomes everyone.
