Live Tattooing

There will be over 150+ amazing tattoo artists covering every style in the industry. Check out our current line up of tattoo artitsts here.

Kids Activities

The convention is family-friendly until 8PM and we have a dedicated area for kids that includes a bounce house, caricature artist, face painting and a bunch of other fun activities to keep them occupied. We also have our annual kids tattoo competition where your children, between the ages of 3 and 12, can "tattoo" their parents, friends, and/or siblings. Don't worry these tattoos are temporary. Once completed they can compete these "tattoos" for a chance to win a slew of prizes.

Exhibitors

This convention isn't just about tattooing. We will have a wide array of local artists, crafters, thrift boutiques, and more exhibiting their goods and creations all weekend long. Check out who's coming this year and plan ahead.

Food & Beverages

We have a hand-selected menu that we have curated through the hotel Bistro as well as multiple food trucks with some of the best food that Richmond has to offer. To compliment all this amazing food, there are bars scattered throughout the venue that consist of your typical go-tos as well as a few speciaility drinks. We offer Food and Beverage Vouchers at a discount if you buy them ahead of time. 

Live Art For Charity

We gather amazing artists from all over the world to do their artwork live on a 3' x 3' canvas. These canvases will be auctioned off to benefit charity. We will be announcing this year's artists on Instagram so be sure to follow us to stay in the loop. 

Competitions

We will be having a range of tattoo competitions for artists/collectors to compete in. Prizes for the artist and collector will be given to all the winners. All VIP tickets come with free entries.

"Get what you Hit" Booth

Test your marksmanship skills while earning a tattoo in the process. At this booth, there will be a giant board covered in a ton of different tattoo designs. Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to hit the design of your choice with a weapon from our arsenal. Don't get too excited, these aren't real weapons! Whatever you hit, you get.

If for whatever reason you don't like the design that you hit, then you can purchase additional shots for $20 a pop. All VIP tickets come with at least one free shot.
(Limited to one tattoo per day).

"Get what you Get" Booth

Put your fate (and arm) in the hands of a skilled tattoo artist. At this booth, we will have mulitple sheets of different tattoo designs on display. Your task, if you're brave enough to accept it, is to choose one of those sheets and put your arm through the hole. At this point it's up to the tattoo artist on the other side to select your fate.  

This booth is first come, first served and priorty will be given to VIP ticket holders.
