DeVos Place Convention Center
Tattoo Fest Grand Rapids
Tattoo Fest Grand Rapids brings together more than 300 tattoo artists from around the world in a lively celebration of skin and ink, where the craft is treated as true art. Throughout the event, artists will be tattooing on site, with many welcoming walk-up clients for spontaneous pieces and offering rare access to award-winning talent without long waits.
The atmosphere is all about self-expression and community, welcoming every style and story. Competitions recognize standout work with trophies across multiple Best Tattoo categories, and a showstopping costume contest offers a $1,000 cash grand prize.
A diverse marketplace showcases dozens of vendors with fine art, jewelry, and custom clothing, while on-site concessions and a full bar keep the energy high. It all adds up to a vibrant gathering where creativity and tattoo culture take center stage.
