About
Run by the team behind the True North Art and Tattoo studio, this expo is a homegrown event built for Southeast Alaska. Now in its third year after a 2024 debut, it takes over the Centennial Hall Convention Center in downtown Juneau for a late-May weekend of live tattooing, art, and contests.
Juneau is one of the most remote state capitals in the country, and a working convention here is a genuine rarity. The local studio behind it leans on more than 15 years of combined industry experience to bring a real show to a region most touring artists never see, giving Southeast Alaska a date of its own on the calendar.
