What's special
The Tacoma Tattoo Expo is billed by its organizer as the first annual Tacoma show, held indoors at the Tacoma Dome from March 12 to 14, 2027. The organizer describes a mix of expo and festival bringing together hundreds of artists and entertainers, with live tattooing, contests and entertainment across the weekend. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster; at the time of writing the organizer's site had not yet published an admission price, an age policy or a schedule
What happens on the floor
Pieces go on in the open, start to finish. You can watch, and talk to artists between clients.
Finished and same-day work is judged on stage in named categories, usually late in the day.
Stage acts between judging: sideshow, suspension and burlesque are common. Worth knowing before you sit down with a child.
Machines, inks, aftercare, art and clothing. Aimed at artists, but open to anyone through the door.
Getting tattooed here
Admission gets you through the door, not into a chair. Tattoo work is arranged with the artist, not with the show.
To book a specific artist, contact them directly ahead of the event; the site's 2027 Featured Artists page lists participating artists but was not mined here
Social posts encourage securing a spot with attending artists ahead of the show; walk-up availability is not stated on the site
Who is tattooing
No artist roster has been published for this edition, so there is no way to pick an artist in advance from the official pages.
No named roster was captured. The site has a 2027 Featured Artists page and a Vendor Listing page, which were not mined for names here. Instagram posts have welcomed individual artists (for example an artist with Kangaroo Tattoos) to the '1st annual' expo, but no confirmed lineup is compiled
