About

Tommy's Tattoo Convention is organized by Tom Ringwalt and has run since 2012, with the 2026 edition marking its 14th annual show. Held each October at the Mohegan Sun Expo Center in Uncasville, Connecticut, it brings together 600+ tattoo artists, dozens of vendors, live entertainment, specialty vehicles and celebrity guests across a three-day casino-resort weekend. A 2025 edition was held, confirming the event is active.

For working artists, Tommy's is one of the highest-traffic shows in the region, drawing an estimated 10,000+ attendees through a destination casino property that keeps foot traffic strong all weekend. Daily tattoo contests across a wide range of categories give artists a competitive showcase, while the dense floor and resort setting make it a prime spot to fill a books, sell flash and network with the New England scene.
