A Convention of the Tattoo Arts is an annual event:
We don’t see any reason to throw this show more than
once a year.
We are from San Jose. We are not trying to flood the
market with tattoo conventions purely for financial
gain. We are part of the local tattoo scene and have no
interest in throwing shows in other cities. Tattoo
events should be thrown by the local tattoo community.
World famous artists? Many shows claim to have world
famous artists when in reality they feature local smoke
shop scratchers, we list ALL of our artists, not just a
few. We know our hand picked roster is top notch but
don’t take our word for it, look at their websites and
do your own research. Please do note that advance
booking is required for many of the participating
artists and you should contact them directly.
Most of our artists are from out of town. This is a
gathering of the tattoo industry, people come from far
and wide. You are not just paying to see local tattooers
whose shops you could visit for free. We are proud to
bring a global roster to San Jose. Please keep in mind
that our artists spend a great deal of money on planes
and hotels just to be here and exhibit for you. So show
your support! Get a tattoo, buy a shirt, buy them a
beer…. Show them that San Jose welcomes them.
This is an artist oriented show. That is why we have a
5% vendor rate. No sunglass booths, bands, dancers,
piercers… we are all about tattooing and the tattoo
arts.
