About

Presented by World Famous Elm Street Tattoo and industry heavyweight Oliver Peck, the Elm Street Tattoo & Music Fest takes over the historic Deep Ellum district of Dallas, Texas each spring, with 2026 running April 9-12. The format pairs a curated tattoo convention with several nights of live music (30+ bands) and a custom motorcycle show, spread across Deep Ellum venues like the Bomb Factory and Trees.

For working artists, this is a tastemaker event rather than a mass-market floor: a smaller, curated roster of 40+ tattooers keeps the bar high and the company strong. The Oliver Peck association and the music-and-bikes crossover crowd give the show outsized industry credibility and reach, making it a strong line on a portfolio for artists who value reputation and connections over sheer booth volume.

What to expect

• Curated roster of 40+ tattooers, quality over quantity
• Presented by Oliver Peck and World Famous Elm Street Tattoo
• 30+ live bands across multiple nights
• Custom motorcycle show alongside the tattoo floor
• Spread across iconic Deep Ellum venues in Dallas
• High industry credibility and crossover audience reach

Best for

Established artists who value reputation and industry connections
