What is Inked Out?

Great question! Inked Out New Jersey is a fun, friendly, family centric tattoo and music festival at the Meadowlands Expo Center where hundreds of artists and thousands of people from the tri-state area come together to celebrate their love of tattoos, piercings, art, and good music.

Can I get tattooed at your convention?

Absolutely. Hundreds of artists from all over the world come for that very reason. To tattoo YOU!

Do I need to make an appointment to get tattooed?

In a word…no. You can if you want to and it’s a good idea, but not mandatory. You can either contact the artist directly in advance or come down and look around. Find an artist whose work you like and book some time with him or her.

Can I get tattooed for free?

Sorry, no. This is how the artists make a living.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Buying a tattoo is like buying a car only less painful and less expensive. Just like cars, tattoos come in all sizes, colors and prices. Artists charge different prices based on the complexity and time it takes to tattoo you. Tattoos can cost as little as $75 to as much as $1,000.
