Richmond Tattoo & Arts Convention returns October 23-25, 2026

The Richmond Tattoo & Arts Convention returns October 23-25, 2026, bringing together internationally celebrated artists, collectors, creators, and art enthusiasts for one of the most unique arts festivals in the country. Held at the DoubleTree by Hilton (1021 Koger Center Blvd), this three-day event transforms the venue into a vibrant gallery and creative marketplace where guests can experience world-class artistry up close. Hosted by internationally acclaimed tattoo artist Jesse Smith, Ink Master champion Ryan Ashley, and Loose Screw Tattoo, the convention welcomes more than 170 artists and 70 exhibitors from around the world. Many of these internationally recognized artists travel to Richmond exclusively for this event, making it a rare opportunity to meet them in person, watch them create live, purchase original artwork and collectibles, and, for those interested, receive a tattoo from some of the industry's most sought-after talent. Beyond tattooing, attendees can shop original paintings, prints, apparel, jewelry, handcrafted goods, and other works from independent artists and makers while enjoying live entertainment, art demonstrations, tattoo competitions, charitable live painting events, and family-friendly activities throughout the weekend. Whether you're an art collector, creative professional, or simply looking for an unforgettable weekend experience, the Richmond Tattoo & Arts Convention offers an inspiring opportunity to connect with artists from around the globe, discover new talent, and celebrate creativity in all its forms.
