Among the artists tattooing throughout the weekend will be veterans of the Spike TV series “Ink Master,” as well as the shows “Best Ink,” “Tattoo Nightmares” and “Black Ink Crew.” There will also be more than 25 categories of tattoo contests, displays of tattoo collectibles and memorabilia and performances from burlesque artists and carnival sideshow acts.
