About
Founded in 2021 by Danielle and Marceau Hicks of Anchor & Rose Tattoo Co., the Homeward Bound Tattoo Expo runs twice each year, with spring and late-summer editions at the Osage Casino in Tulsa. The March show is the primary edition, drawing 200-plus artists from around the world for three days of live tattooing.
The expo rounds out the booths with daily burlesque performances, oddities, jewelry, paintings, and live art, giving it a variety-show feel on top of the tattooing. Low presale pricing and all-ages admission keep the casino floor busy and make it an accessible stop for both collectors and visiting artists.
