The experience
What's special
Tattoo-event directories list a San Antonio edition at the Alzafar Shrine for 26 to 28 September 2026. The organiser's own website still shows the 2025 edition in San Marcos, and their Facebook page is promoting a separate Houston edition in April 2026. Nothing from the organiser names this San Antonio date, so treat it as unconfirmed until they do
What happens on the floor
The core format: artists take a booth for the weekend and work on the open floor, with the public walking through.
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.
Machines, inks, aftercare, art and clothing. Aimed at artists, but open to anyone through the door.
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 artist roster exists for a San Antonio 2026 edition on any first-party source. The InkArtists page shows 0 'Going' and 0 'Maybe' and only a generic 'browse artists from the United States' widget (unrelated San Diego and Miami artists), which is not a line-up
Hours and the floor
The organizer's own site does not advertise this venue for 2026; it shows a San Marcos venue (1001 E. McCarty Ln) for a 2025 edition
