The Glass City Center in beautiful Toledo, OH.

May 16-18, 2025. We could not think of a better time to enjoy this amazing city.

The Festival opens on Friday at 12pm and closes at 10pm. Saturday the festival opens at 11am and closes at 10pm. Sunday our hours are 11am to 7pm.

Anyone over 18 can get tattooed at the show. You must sign a release form and present a valid ID. If you want tattooed by a specific artist, you should contact them in advance and set up an appointment. Some artists take tattoos on a first come, first served basis. Just ask them at their booth!

You will need to contact your preferred artist directly. This can usually be done by sending a message on their social media, sending an email, or a booking link on their website. Some artists may have more information about booking in their Instagram bio or on a post they have made.

Each artist will price their tattoos. You will need to inquire with them. This can be done in advance of the festival or asking during the event.

You can find the attending artists in the menu above. Click Attending Artist. You can also see them listed on our website and social media pages.

We do our best to acquire group rate pricing for hotels. If these are available, you can find them on the location page. We are not able to provide group rates in all locations.

Children 12 and under are free. If your child could be mistaken for an older age, bring proof of age.
