We are proud to work with the tattoo shops in out area and encourage you to support them year round.

On the night of the event they tend to have special options... first come, first served.

 

For example, one had you roll a big fuzzy six-sided cube. On the wall they had six flash sheets. Whatever number came up on the cube is the flash sheet you had to choose a design from... or walk away from your cash.  Another had a treasure chest with designs inside and it was a low price but also a "get what you get" situation. 

Check with each shop to see what they'll run this year, and when they plan to open up their shop.

​

The festival itself starts at 5pm but some of the shops open as early as roughly 11am
