About this edition
The Cyan Tattoo Invitational emerged from a compelling vision: to establish a premier tattoo convention in Dayton, Ohio, that genuinely showcases the exceptional artistic talent thriving within the city. Dayton boasts a legacy of housing some of the nation's foremost tattoo artists, pioneers who consistently push stylistic limits, innovate new techniques, and cultivate a vibrant culture worthy of broader recognition. This event was conceived not merely as another convention, but as an immersive experience meticulously crafted by artists, for artists, and for the discerning individuals who deeply value their craft. What began as an ardent passion project has steadily evolved into a significant movement, bolstered by the unwavering support of our dedicated community. Each successive year witnesses Cyan's expansion, attracting an increasing number of artists, enthusiasts, and an undeniable surge of energy. The atmosphere is electrifying, the artwork displayed is truly remarkable, and the future trajectory of this collaborative endeavor remains expansive. The Invitational transcends a mere weekend gathering; it stands as a powerful testament to the extraordinary outcomes when creative minds unite to forge something collectively greater than any individual effort. Past editions have celebrated exceptional talent, including Best of Show recipients such as @Tyler Bowling Sr. in 2025 and @zakperry_tattoos in 2024. Join us for the Cyan Tattoo Invitational 2026 at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds Events Center, located at 645 Infirmary Rd, Dayton, OH 45417. Event hours are Friday, March 6th, from 12pm to 10pm; Saturday, March 7th, from 12pm to 10pm; and Sunday, March 8th, from 12pm to 8pm.
