Monterey to host nationally recognized tattoo festival

An upcoming event will be highlighting some of the most impressive contributors to the tattoo scene, and it is open to anyone who happens to be a fan of quality art.

The 2026 Ink at the Bay Tattoo Festival is taking place across three days. Each day will offer something different for attendees, and even those with no ink are more than welcome to enjoy what is in store. Organizers state that more than 100 artists from around the world will be showcasing their creations, and it is also possible to request a tattoo from one of these artisans.

In addition to tattooing, this festival provides an array of additional onsite attractions, such as food vendors, craft kiosks offering handmade goods, live entertainment, a car show, and a separate area displaying tattoo-related memorabilia.

Events such as this are often used by the vendors to resonate with their audience base. They may choose to distribute free items such as promotional Pens, hand out Flyers, or offer complimentary reproductions of their previous work.

The 2026 Ink at the Bay Tattoo Festival will be taking place between Friday, June 12 and Sunday, June 14. All attractions are being hosted within the Monterey Fairgrounds located at 2004 Fairground Road. The itineraries for each day are listed on the official website. Tickets begin at $23.18, and prices may be subject to change.
