Central PA Horror Tattoo Expo: 

October 3rd – 5th, 2024

Monica will be attending the Central Pennsylvania Horror Tattoo Expo Convention from Friday, October 3rd, 4th and Sunday, October 5th, 2025 at the Hollywood Casino in  Grantville, PA.

It can be a lot of fun to get tattooed at a convention and enter the competition.  If you are interested in being a human canvas for one of our competition entries please reach out to us by e-mail.

Conventions are a way for our artists to flex their skills, and they will be focusing on specific types of tattoos at the convention, with the goal of competing in mind.  Please be willing to stay the entire day and enter into the tattoo competition at the end of the day.

If you are not comfortable competing, we have plenty of regular time slots available at the shop on other days. 

 If you would like to be tattooed at a convention, please keep these notes in mind:

• There is an entry fee to the convention
• If you forget to bring a snack and water you’ll be able to buy some at the convention.
• Have a good nights rest, and have a full meal before coming to the convention.
• We will have tattoo flash catered to the competitions we would like to compete in
• If you would like to schedule with a specific competition or style in mind, please e-mail the shop to get a consult started.

We would love for you to compete in the tattoo of the day and the best of show at the end of the convention, however these are the available categories this year:

Monica is open to entering any of the competitions this year, as long as she thinks she can do justice to your tattoo concept.
