? KINGS & QUEENS OF INK: SOUTHERN INKFEST IS COMING TO JACKSON! ?

Mark your calendars for April 16–18, 2027, because we’re taking over the Mississippi State Fairgrounds for three days of tattoos, music, food, competition, and Southern culture.

If you’ve been to Kings & Queens of Ink before, you already know how we get down. This time, we’re turning it up with Southern InkFest.

Expect a weekend packed with:

?️ Live tattooing all weekend

? Tattoo competitions & awards

? Live music

? Crawfish boil

? Food trucks & great food

?️ Vendors

? Tattoo artists from across the South and beyond

Come find your next artist, get tattooed, enter the competitions, grab some food, check out the vendors, listen to live music, or just come kick it with the tattoo community.

And yes… we’re boiling crawfish. ??

? TATTOO ARTISTS, VENDORS & FOOD TRUCKS

Booth applications are NOW OPEN.

Want to be part of Southern InkFest instead of just attending?

We’re currently accepting applications for tattoo artists, vendors, and food trucks.

If you’re an artist, come represent your shop and your city, meet new clients, show off your work, and compete throughout the weekend.

If you have a brand or business that belongs in front of the tattoo community, we want to hear from you too.
