Tattoo Fest Dayton is here for a weekend of tattoo artists all coming together to tattoo the public and celebrate the art of tattooing! The Festival will host over 125 tattoo artists and vendors exhibiting their work and competing in contests with over 20 categories. Competitions will be for healed tattoos as well as competitions each day for tattoos done at the Festival.
Tattoo Fest Dayton is excited to add a new chapter to the legacy of the art and tattoo culture of Dayton, while celebrating some of the best local tattooers, as well as bringing returning and new artists to showcase the amazing city.
The organizers believe that everyone deserves to experience the incredible artistry and vibrant culture of the tattoo community. To make this possible and to celebrate with all of you, they’ve decided to make admission to Tattoo Fest Dayton completely FREE for all three days.
Nationally and Internationally recognized tattoo artists will be set up for the public to browse and collect tattoos!
