Welcome to Northern AZ Tattoo Fest 2024!

This year marks the 12th installment of Prescott's own international tattoo convention. We pride ourselves in bringing together some of the World’s greatest tattooers to Prescott once a year, for a 3-day celebration of great tattooing. This year, not unlike years past, there will be tattooing on-site, live music (including local musicians), tattoo contests, and vendors. We are open to the public and welcome seasoned tattoo collectors and first-timers alike (or anyone else interested in checking it out and having a good time). The Prescott Resort provides the perfect setting offering world-class views and amenities including Bucky’s Casino just a few steps away. Nestled in the heart of the world’s largest stand of Ponderosa Pine, the otherwise sleepy mountain town comes alive as the first few summer monsoon storms provide a welcome reprieve from the desert heat.

We are an invitational show, meaning that for you, the tattoo collector, we have worked very hard to bring you the best of the best tattooers into our small little town of Prescott.  We invite artists to our show based on their talent and skill, bringing you only the best. Your hosts are sincerely invested in Prescott, our culture, our community, and our economy.
