Asheville Tattoo Arts Festival
Tattoo And Piercing
Why pick this one
Asheville Tattoo Arts Festival brings hundreds of tattooers together for live tattooing, artist appointments, vendors, entertainment, and tattoo contests.
Best for
- People seeking multiple tattoo artists in one venue
- Walk-up tattoo appointments, especially for smaller pieces
- Comparing artist portfolios before booking
- Tattoo collectors interested in competition categories such as realism, Japanese, anime, or cover-ups
- Visitors seeking tattoo-related entertainment and vendors
Look elsewhere if
- People seeking a conventional permanent tattoo shop instead of a festival
- People under 18 seeking a tattoo, because the festival requires government-issued photo identification and has no exceptions
- People seeking guaranteed availability from a specific artist without contacting that artist in advance
Specialties
- Live tattooing
- Walk-up tattoos
