Evansville Tattoo Festival

The Evansville Tattoo Festival is a three-day event scheduled for November 13-15, 2026. The specific venue in Evansville, Indiana, is still to be announced. This convention typically includes live tattooing on the convention floor, where artists from the Midwest and beyond set up booths to work on clients. Attendees can watch tattoo competitions in categories like best of day and best large scale. There are also vendor booths selling tattoo aftercare, apparel, and art. Seminars on tattoo history and technique sometimes occur. Evansville has a solid tattoo community with shops that specialize in American traditional and blackwork styles. For practical planning, single-day and weekend pass tickets will be available for purchase online once the venue is confirmed. On-site parking is usually available at the venue. Several hotels are located in downtown Evansville, close to the likely convention location. Attendees should bring a valid ID and cash, as not all artists may accept cards.
