A young but ambitious downtown-Louisville festival bringing 200+ artists to the Kentucky International Convention Center.

Event details

About

The Louisville Tattoo Festival is organized by Quinn Hurley and reaches its 2nd annual edition in 2026, held March 27-29 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in downtown Louisville. The young festival assembles 200+ of the best artists from around the world for three days of tattooing, art-making, merch and entertainment in a central, easy-to-reach venue.

For working artists, an early-stage show like this can be an opportunity: a 200+ artist roster and a major downtown convention center signal real ambition, and getting in early can mean better positioning as the event grows. With affordable admission to keep the public flowing and a Kentucky base that fills a gap in the regional calendar, it is a worthwhile stop for reaching the Louisville market and building relationships in a fresh scene.
