Get tattooed all weekend long and witness two thrilling styles of live competition: the classic judged format and the high-energy Walk-In Warrior showdown, where artists battle on the spot for a cash prize and the coveted Walk-In Warrior title.

Enjoy face painting, permanent jewelry, traditional henna, a caricature artist, unique vendors, stand-up comedy on Friday night, and an epic after party on Saturday directly across the street. Food, drinks, and alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
