18th Minneapolis Tattoo Arts Convention

Welcome to Minneapolis Tattoo Arts Festival 2027 , returning to Hyatt Regency Minneapolis from January 15–17, 2027 for its 18th annual edition.

Meet local, national and international tattoo artists working across a wide range of styles, watch live tattooing throughout the weekend and connect directly with artists about new projects.

Vendor booths will offer everything from oddities and clothing to artwork and jewellery.

Daily tattoo contests give collectors and artists the chance to present outstanding work, including Tattoo of the Day awards for pieces completed entirely at the festival.

Live entertainment and sideshow programming add to the atmosphere across all three days.

Whether you are planning your next tattoo, searching for inspiration or simply want to experience the energy of a major tattoo festival, Minneapolis Tattoo Arts Festival brings art, competition and community together under one roof.

Three days of live tattooing, entertainment and tattoo culture in Minneapolis.
