Bridging Generations, Celebrating Craft, and Welcoming the Public
This November 1–2, we’re hosting the OC Tattoo Festival—a unique event built around three core goals:
- Unite the Tattoo Community Across Generations
We’re creating a space where seasoned tattoo legends and rising artists can come together, exchange ideas, and celebrate the evolution of the craft. It’s about mutual respect, mentorship, and keeping the art form moving forward.
- Focus on the Craft Itself
This event is for the artists. A chance to tattoo alongside peers, meet industry icons, and attend real-time training sessions, Q&As, and demos. We’re building an environment where artists can grow, learn, and elevate their work—no egos, just passion and skill.
- Open the Doors to the Public
We want to give the community a proper introduction to the tattoo world. Whether it’s getting their first tattoo, watching the process up close, or simply learning more about the culture, it’s an opportunity for real connection. We’ll have flash events, walk-up tattoos, and chances to engage directly with artists in a festival-like atmosphere.
At its core, this isn’t just a convention—it’s a celebration of tattooing, from tradition to innovation. Whether you’re an artist or an admirer, this is where you belong.
