Inker Tattoo Expo Tucson

The Inker Tattoo Expo Tucson is a one-day tattoo convention scheduled for Friday, October 24, 2025. The specific venue is to be determined, but the event will be held in Tucson, Arizona. Tucson has a notable tattoo history, with a strong presence of American traditional and blackwork styles, influenced by its desert landscape and proximity to the Mexican border. Attendees can expect to see artists from local Tucson shops and the wider Southwest region tattooing live on the convention floor. The event typically includes tattoo competitions with categories like best of day and best large piece. Vendor booths will sell tattoo aftercare, apparel, and art. This is a practical event for getting tattooed, watching artists at work, and seeing a wide variety of tattoo styles in person. For planning, check the event's official social media pages for the venue announcement and ticket sales. Bring a valid ID for entry and cash for tattoos and vendors, though some may accept cards. Parking availability depends on the final venue selection.
