The annual Australian Tattoo & Body Art Expo will return to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, from Friday 4 - Sunday 6 December 2015.
10,000 local tattoo enthusiasts are expected to attend, with 250+ local and international artists tattooing live over three electrifying days.
The 2015 line-up will feature a mix of Australia’s best artists including Khail Aitkin of Sinister Ink, Kelly McKinnon of Black Diamond Tattoo, Ben Doukakis of The Darling Parlour and more.
International draw-cards will also showcase their skills, with award-winning artist, Jay Freestyle joining the Expo from Amsterdam, plus Boog Star, Norm Will Rise and Jime Litwalk making the journey from USA.

The Girls of Ink competition is set to return and will see 15 tattooed models compete for the ultimate Girls of Ink title. Lovers of all things vintage and traditional style are also in luck, as the popular Stealth Photographics Pin Up Pageant crowns the 2015 winner.
Get inked on the spot or shop from a range of stalls selling everything from tattoo supplies, to the latest in street-wear and alternative fashions.
