Event details

About

The Pittsburgh Tattoo Expo is presented by Exposed Temptations Tattoo and Exposed Arts Inc., led by Greg Piper, and reaches its 9th annual edition in 2026, held March 13-15 at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown. The show is built around roughly 220 invite-only tattoo artists alongside leading manufacturers, vendors and craftsmen, plus body piercing, live entertainment and a full slate of tattoo contests.

For working artists, the invite-only curation is the differentiator: rather than an open floor, the expo assembles a hand-picked roster, which raises the overall quality and makes a booth here a stronger signal. Set in a downtown hotel with strong local turnout, it offers a focused, contest-driven environment for booking clients, showcasing work and networking within the Pittsburgh and wider Northeast scene.
