Wear Your Costumes on Sunday, October 22 for HallowInk Day

October 19, 2023

Family & Fur Friendly HallowInk Halloween Day 

Sunday, October 22

12- 6 p.m.

Wear your costumes and enjoy a Halloween experience at the Richmond Tattoo & Arts Festival. Sunday is a special day during this annual convention that celebrates 35 years in American tattoo history this October 20-22! We wrap up the three-day festival with more art, shopping, food trucks, performances, and of course tattoos including our Best in Show competitions honoring the weekend’s best creations.

In addition, Sunday will feature our HallowInk Costume Contests for adults and children–pets are welcome to be part of your costume entries! Make sure to capture your costumes in our one-of-a-kind Official Richmond Tattoo Festival Photo Booth created and curated by Sound Snap Photography and Red Vein Haunt. Our outdoor vendors will have special treats and fun for kids, too! 

Visit with the Richmond SPCA, our official nonprofit partner for 2023. The Richmond SPCA’s nonprofit no-kill humane society serves more than 18,000 animals annually, including nearly 4,500 pets sheltered at its humane center. One $1 from each ticket sale on Sunday will support this important work.

The organization will host its famous kissing booth and other fun activities alongside our festival vendors and artists. You can also support the Richmond SPCA by being the first to see and bid on finished products by world-renowned mural artists who have been painting all weekend for our annual Live Art for Charity feature.

Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Richmond SPCA. Bidding on the murals will go live on Sunday, October 22 and remain open for the entire week online. Proceeds will support the Richmond SPCA.
