We Saw You: Scenes From Tattoo Fest Memphis ’25

The ink flowed at the newly re-named event

If you didn’t get to Tattoo Fest Memphis (the new name for the former “Memphis Tattoo Fest”), here’s a video showing some of the tattoo recipients and their tattoo artists in action.

Whether it’s a leg, foot, or arm, Bodies are the canvases.

This was the second year of the festival, which was held April 4th, 5th, and 6th at Renasant Convention Center.

As Quinn Hurley, director of operations for the three-day festival, says, “This is an artistic show. Everyone that’s here is here because they love some form of art. A lot of it’s tattooing, but we have our vendors that make art as well. And so we wanted the festival to reflect the love of that.”
