If you pick the closest shop, cheapest artist – or even the one that just happens to have space at the right time – you’re leaving a whole lot to chance.
Frightening.
Ever seen dodgy linework, poor colours that fade in a week, or just plain old distorted faces that make you stifle your laughter? Maybe you even have one of those yourself…
Yep, they can be a conversation starter – but it’s far better to show off your epic ink that leaves viewers truly breathless.
And that takes a bit of research. Good tattoos can be pricey, but you get what you pay for. And when there’s a lot of money on the line, getting a good look at your artist’s previous work is vital.
If you want to do your research properly, there’s only one place to be – the Australian Tattoo Expo in Melbourne.

We’ve gathered up all the greatest names in the industry, with some exciting up-and-comers making it onto our exclusive list, and we’re bringing them to a city near you.

What Else Is Happening at The Tattoo Show In Melbourne?
The tattoo convention in Melbourne will be hosted across 3-days: that’s one banging weekend! And we want to see you there.

Melbourne Tattoo Expo: Witness The Annihilation of The Competition
This isn’t like other conventions in Melbourne. In fact, there’s no other quite like this. We’re bringing you far more than a line of booths. We’re bringing you hardcore entertainment every day to make this a weekend to remember.
For you – and the artists too.
We’ve created a beast of a competition for tattoo artists of all styles and abilities. This year we’re offering 3 categories: Solo Artist, Collaboration, and People’s Choice.
Artists at the Melbourne Tattoo Expo will take part in 7 rounds and gather points to be declared the overall victor of the greatest tattoo competition out there.
If you’re an artist and fancy trying your hand up against some fierce competition, you can register at the Info Office Booth on the day of the competition. We do advise reading the T&Cs before you enter the ring: it’s wild in here!
If you want to witness this epic showdown – book your Australian Tattoo Expo tickets today and you won’t be disappointed!
