What Is an Event Tattoo Artist?

Event tattooing is a live tattoo experience set up inside your event — a clean, branded micro-studio with licensed artists, curated designs, and a streamlined guest flow. It turns moments into keepsakes while adding a high-impact, highly shareable element to your program.

  • Licensed artists with Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) certification
  • Curated or custom flash designed for your event
  • Throughput-driven team workflow (artists + assistants)
  • Sterile setup, compliant protocols, professional equipment
  • Branded aftercare and clear instructions
