Getting inked up comes with a huge responsibility and a huge adrenaline rush, so why not do it with hundreds of others who share your passion?

At the Skin Art Expo, you will find an atmosphere conducive to exploring ideas and finding an artist that fits you perfectly, especially if this is your first tattoo.

Talented artists from all over the country will be at the event to offer any and all looks for your fresh ink and new piercing(s).

Whether you're looking for a portrait, pin-up, old-school or new-school design, you will be satisfied with the variety offered and the open environment in which the artists conduct their work.

And even if you're not going to get tattooed and/or pierced, you'll still enjoy yourself while watching others get theirs done.

Scheduled seminars on the after-care of both tattoos and piercings will happen for the duration of the event, along with performances by local belly dancing troupe Anaya Tribal and a skateboarding demonstration by the fellows on the Retaks Expression Tour.

With contests like Best of Day, Best of Show, Best Booth and First in the Door, you can tell that there is dedication behind this festival. The chance for winners to go home with anywhere from $50 to $400 in cash is a nice bonus, too.
