Inked Expo

Overview

Tatt fans can celebrate all the creativity and diversity of the tattooing world at the Inked Expo, an all-new body art festival coming to the Melbourne Showgrounds the weekend of February 10-12.

The event will be a showcase of exceptional tattoo art, with world-renowned artists such as Emily-Rose Murray, Chris Nieves, Karlla Mended, Luke Dyson, Camilo Camargo and more showcasing their skills, live in person. In fact, more than 220 artists and vendors will be displaying their work and offering walk-ins, flash tattoos and pre-bookings across the weekend, so it's perfect timing if you're in the market for a new piece.

Acclaimed tattoo artist and event founder Chris Jensen has pulled together a diverse lineup that extends beyond tattooing. Live music, discussion panels, awards, food trucks and even "ink off" battles are all on the bill, as well as a child-friendly "Kidz Corner" where kids can experiment with (temporary) sleeve tatts.

Tickets for Inked Expo are available now and will set you back $35 for a day pass, $65 for a two day pass, and $75 for a three day pass (with free entry for kids under 13).
