The 4th annual Star City Tattoo and Arts Expo is back and ready to leave a mark on El Paso residents and visitors of the city.
Over 150 tattoo artists will be at the El Paso Convention Center where hundreds of visitors will be waiting to get tattoos, and watch performances by special guest Marlo Marquise. Host of Spike TV’s Tattoo Rescue and tattoo artist Joey Tattoo will be on hand to MC the event and journalist/tattoo collector Yallzee will be there to judge tattoo competitions.
Attending artists include International Award Winning artist Brad Doult, as well as Brandon Albus, who specializes in black and grey realism, and El Paso native, Angel Reynosa, (photorealistic black and grey), who is now based in San Diego to name a few.
The event will be held on March 22-24th and will have about 20 competitions held throughout the 3 days—from Best of the Day, Best of the Show, to portraits, lettering and so on. The contests also will have sign-ups on the day of the event with more information about the fees there.
Not only will the event be offering plenty to do, it is also a family friendly event where children 12 and under get in for free. Although it is a family friendly event, visitors must keep in mind that this is a tattoo event where alcohol will be served and skin will be shown.
The expo is currently selling single day passes for $20 and weekend passes for $45—military discount available with valid ID.
People looking to get tattooed must be 18 and up and sign a release form along with providing a valid ID. Doors will be open at noon and will close at 10pm on all 3 days.
