About Carnival of Ink
Carnival of Ink is one of the Midwest's premier tattoo conventions, bringing together talented artists, industry professionals, vendors, entertainers, and tattoo enthusiasts from across the United States.
Founded in 2013, Carnival of Ink was created with a simple vision: to provide a professional, welcoming, and exciting environment where artists can showcase their work, connect with clients, learn from their peers, and celebrate tattoo culture.
Over the years, Carnival of Ink has grown into a nationally recognized event featuring hundreds of artists, tattoo competitions, live entertainment, educational opportunities, and a diverse vendor marketplace. What began as a single convention has evolved into a growing community that supports artists, collectors, and businesses throughout the tattoo industry.
Our events are designed to provide attendees with the opportunity to meet world-class tattoo artists, explore the latest products and trends, enjoy live entertainment, and experience the creativity and passion that make the tattoo community unique.
At Carnival of Ink, we believe that professionalism, respect, creativity, and community are the foundation of every successful event. We are committed to providing a positive experience for artists, vendors, sponsors, and attendees while maintaining high standards of conduct and professionalism.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: to celebrate tattoo culture, support artists, and create memorable experiences for everyone who walks through our doors.
Thank you to the artists, vendors, sponsors, staff, volunteers, and attendees who have helped make Carnival of Ink what it is today. We look forward to many more years of bringing the tattoo community together.
