Australia Oddities & Curiosities Expo

The Australia Oddities & Curiosities Expo is a one-day event on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. While the specific venue is to be announced, it is expected to be held in Sydney, a city with a strong alternative and custom tattoo scene. This expo focuses on the unconventional side of tattoo culture. Attendees can expect live tattooing from artists who specialize in American traditional, blackwork, and other bold styles. The event floor includes vendor booths selling oddities, curiosities, and alternative art. There are often sideshow performances and competitions for best tattoos of the day. This is a recurring event, with previous editions held in major Australian cities. For practical info, tickets are typically available for purchase online in advance, which is recommended. The event is all-ages, but ID is required for alcohol. Bring cash for artists and vendors, though some may have card facilities. Sydney has many hotels within easy reach of the central event district. The local tattoo culture is diverse, but this event specifically highlights the niche community around traditional and alternative body art.
