About
Presented by El Paso shop Done N Cane Tattoo & Piercing, the Inkers Tattoo Expo is the El Paso edition of the Southwest Inkers touring series, which runs shows across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The El Paso show returns September 11-13, 2026 at the Starlight Event Center for its sixth annual edition, featuring top artists, piercers, vendors, and live performances.
For working artists, El Paso is a distinct border-city market that sits outside the orbit of the big central-Texas conventions, giving the show a captive regional audience with little local competition. Being part of a multi-state series also means artists can build a relationship with one organizer and plug into Inkers stops across the Southwest, turning a single booking into a regional circuit.
