Bringing 200 Artists to the Quad Cities
Walk-Ups, Bookings, and Tattoo Competitions

Whether you’re planning your next masterpiece or just craving a spontaneous design, the festival’s got you covered. Many artists will be booking in advance, but if you’re feeling impulsive (no judgment—we’ve all been there), there’ll be plenty of opportunities for walk-up tattoos each day, first-come, first-served.

And if you’re already covered in ink, don’t just sit there—show it off! There will be contests all weekend long where you can enter your existing tattoos or watch others compete for bragging rights in the “Tattoo of the Day” showdown.

Not Getting Inked? No Problem.

This isn’t just for the tattooed and the tattoo-curious. Expect art vendors, live demonstrations, and plenty of merch to shop while you admire artists at work. Plus, you’ll get a front-row seat to some of the best tattoo talent the world has to offer.
