Studio Ink Tattoo Convention

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the Studio Ink Tattoo Convention unforgettable. This weekend meant so much to us as we celebrated 25 years of Studio Ink Tattoo, and being able to mark that milestone surrounded by such an incredible community was truly an honor.

Thank you to every person who walked through the doors, supported the artists, watched the contests, and brought the energy all weekend long. Thank you to our vendors and sponsors for showing up and helping make this event what it was. Thank you to the artists who traveled from near and far to share their talent and be part of something special with us.

Congratulations to all of the tattoo contest winners. The level of skill, creativity, and dedication on display was unreal and a true reflection of how strong and inspiring this industry is.

Tattooing has given us more than we could ever put into words. To be a small part of such a passionate, hardworking, and tight knit industry is something we never take for granted. Thank you for celebrating with us, supporting us, and being part of our story for the last 25 years.
