Ink Artists Unite for Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Festival

From body art to live entertainment, the 28th annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Festival at the Pennsylvania Convention Center promises to offer plenty of visual tattoo artistry for attendees. The three-day event, held from Friday, Jan. 23, through Sunday, Jan. 25, unites ink masters and various performance acts.

This year's festival will feature opportunities to explore the work of hundreds of tattoo artists, all representing diverse styles, and get inked. Walk-ins, consultations, and live demonstrations will all be offered. The festival's website contains a complete directory of this year's visiting tattoo artists.

Vendors will also offer jewelry, clothing, artwork, and other tattoo-related memorabilia.

Tickets for single-day admission to the festival are $25, and a three-day pass is $50. Free entry to the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Festival will be provided to children younger than 12. Tickets will be available on the festival's website and at the door.
