Middle Tennessee Tattoo Expo

This must be the Place.

A weekend for tattoo lovers, artists, and the tattoo-curious.

You love tattoos. You just needed an excuse.

We built the Middle Tennessee Tattoo Expo for people like you - artists, collectors, and the tattoo-curious who love tattoo culture and want to be part of something meaningful.

Whether you're getting your first tattoo, collecting another piece, or soaking it all in, MTTE is where you belong.

Get a tattoo.

Over 275 tattoo artists from around the country are ready to TATTOO YOU! Walk-up to select from thousands of flash & pre-drawn designs or book ahead - it’s your call!

Leave Inspired.

Experience incredible talent across Art Fusion showcases, Body Suit Art Show, & tattoo competitions. You're bound to leave with more inspiration - and more art - than you came with.

Join Us.

When artists are supported, inspired, and connected, their work comes to life. Be part of their creative journey - and let them mark you on yours! After all, where would we be without each other?
