SHOW INFO
Join us for the 2nd annual Tattoo Fest Louisville! We offer a selection of over 200 of the best artists from all over the world right here in Louisville for three days of tattooing, art making, merch selling, and much more.
At the Festival, attendees will have the opportunity to get tattooed from traveling and local artists alike. Many artists will book the festival in advance, but there will be opportunities each day to find artists that are taking walk up tattoos on a first come first serve basis.
If you do not want to get a tattoo over the weekend you will not be short of entertainment. Artists and vendors alike will be selling merchandise, there will be contests where you can enter your tattoos that you have previously collected, watch contests take place, and see some of the best artists from across the globe practice their craft.
Tattoo artists will have the opportunity to buy supplies from a variety of vendors for use at the festival and to take back to their home shop. There will be a tattoo of the day competition daily to show off the best tattoos made at the Festival.
Whether you are coming to Tattoo Fest Louisville for your first tattoo, your 100th, or just to have fun, we are happy to have you, and cannot wait to see you there.

Thank you for sharing the details about the Louisville Tattoo Fest! I’m intrigued by the variety of artists featured. Can you tell us more about how local culture influences their styles? Additionally, what initiatives are in place to ensure a welcoming atmosphere for first-time attendees? Looking forward to learning more!
I am writing to express our interest in assisting with this year’s tattoo festival in Louisville, Kentucky. My husband and I are available to help with any tasks required, including setup and teardown.
I am the former owner and operator of Skin City Tattoo in Muncie, Indiana. Having recently relocated to Louisville, we are now very active in the local recovery community and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to this event.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
