Find Anatomy Tattoo at the expo

Our crew on site: Lindsay, Megan, Jake, and Agnes. If you want to get tattooed at the expo, plan to arrive early and be flexible on placement and design so we can fit you in during event hours.

Washington requires you to be 18 with a valid ID to get tattooed. A tattoo appointment does not include admission, so you will still need an expo ticket to enter.
