Ink Mania Tattoo & Art Expo 2026

Ink Mania Fest 2026 – Artist Invitation For over 11 years, Ink Mania has built a reputation as one of Florida’s most dynamic tattoo gatherings — starting in St. Petersburg and now expanding into a full-scale festival in Tampa, Florida. Ink Mania Fest 2026 takes place April 24–26, 2026 at the Florida State Fairgrounds. This isn’t just another tattoo convention — it’s a true celebration of tattoo culture, artistry, and community. Artists will experience: • 3 full days of tattooing alongside world-class peers • Live competitions with handcrafted trophies from Mexico • Five international judges bringing global perspectives • Stage entertainment, MMA fights, and music inside the venue • Rollin Low Car Club’s custom car show and cultural showcase • Food trucks and unique vendors to keep the crowd engaged all weekend What makes Ink Mania special is its roots: we’re a family-owned event, built from years of community support, artists, and friends who believe in keeping tattoo conventions authentic while adding new energy. If you’re an artist looking for a show that values art, culture, and connection as much as it does ink — Ink Mania Fest 2026 is where you belong.
