World-renowned ink art is heading to the heart of Downtown Green Bay this weekend as Tattoo Fest Green Bay takes over the KI Convention Center from Friday, July 31, through Sunday, Aug. 2.

Presented by Tattoo Fest and the Explorer Tattoo Conference, the three-day festival brings together more than 150 local, national, and international tattoo artists and specialty vendors. Attendees can watch live tattooing by recognizable stars from popular reality television shows, browse unique maker goods, and enter tattoo competitions spanning more than 20 categories for both fresh and healed work.

“Events like Tattoo Fest highlight the vibrant cultural diversity and energy our region attracts,” said Brad Toll, President and CEO at Discover Green Bay. “We are thrilled to welcome visitors and top-tier talent from across the globe to experience Greater Green Bay’s hospitality, downtown atmosphere, and local community while enjoying a unique, world-class event.”

While many featured artists are already booking advance appointments online, several will accept walk-up clients throughout the weekend. Festivalgoers looking to secure an artist in advance can view participating profiles at greenbaytattoofestival.com/artists.
