April 16, 2027 @ 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Overview

Kings & Queens of Ink: Southern InkFest brings three days of tattoo artistry, live entertainment, culture, and festival energy to Mississippi's capital city.

Southern InkFest brings talented tattoo artists from across the region and around the country together in Jackson for a celebration of creativity and self-expression. Guests can meet artists, watch tattoos come to life, book their next piece, discover new tattoo styles, shop unique vendors, and see artists compete for awards throughout the weekend.

And the experience doesn't stop with tattooing.

Southern InkFest combines the excitement of a major tattoo convention with the atmosphere of a Southern festival, featuring live music and entertainment, tattoo competitions, vendors and shopping, food and drinks, interactive attractions, and special experiences throughout the three-day event.
