About
Now in its 13th edition, the Niagara Tattoo Expo has grown into one of Western New York's anchor tattoo events, filling the Niagara Falls Convention Center with hundreds of artists across a long weekend. The show pairs serious tattooing with the tourist energy of one of the country's most-visited destinations, making it as much a getaway as a convention.
Daily contests, live tattooing, and a steady stream of walk-in collectors give visiting artists a reliable flow of work, while the riverside location turns the weekend into a destination in its own right. The combination of a strong regional draw and a marquee setting keeps the expo on the calendar for Northeast and Canadian artists alike.
