The St. Louis Tattoo Festival brings more than 200 of the world’s best tattoo artists to St. Charles for three days of live tattooing, art, merchandise, contests, and entertainment. Attendees can get tattooed by traveling and local artists (many book in advance; some take walk-ups), watch daily tattoo competitions including a “tattoo of the day,” shop vendor booths, and enjoy tattoo-themed contests and demonstrations. Whether you’re getting your first piece, adding to a collection, or coming to soak up the scene, this festival offers nonstop art and culture for tattoo fans.
