From the guys that brought the first regional tattoo magazine to Oregon, NW Tattoo Magazine, and historically the largest tattoo convention in Oregon’s history, Oregon Ink, brings the largest tattoo expo in Portland history. The Portland Tattoo Expo will set up shop at the Portland Expo Center October 9, 10 and 11, 2009.
Two hundred Artist and Vendor booths will fill the 54,000 square foot venue. 300 Artists from all over the country will be tattooing for three days and nights!
Special guest Corey Miller from TV's LA Ink, will be tattooing and meeting fans all weekend. There will be live performers all day on the main stage, art fusion, art gallery, artist seminars, and tattoo contests all three days. We’ll also be displaying some of the baddest rides around in our car exhibit. From Lowriders, Hot-Rods and Rat-rods, to classic cars and import tuners, they will all be on display throughout the event. Enter the Portland Tattoo Expo Pin-up Model Contest sponsored by Cherry Redd! Sponsored after-parties will take place, with live local and regional bands playing music all night long Friday & Saturday night.
