The South Carolina Tattoo Expo
The South Carolina Tattoo Expo is set to become the first event of its kind in the state. This groundbreaking expo is more than a convention, it’s a movement. We are actively working alongside lawmakers and industry professionals to establish new legislation and policies that allow for the creation of a temporary tattoo establishment, opening the door for a fully regulated, safe, and innovative tattoo event in South Carolina.
Our goal is to unite creatives from across the tattoo industry and cultivate a space rooted in education, collaboration, and artistic growth. By creating an environment where tattoo artists can learn, connect, and share their craft, the South Carolina Tattoo Expo aims to elevate the industry statewide while honoring professionalism, safety standards, and creative freedom.
This website has been designed to keep you informed throughout the process and to provide opportunities for artists, supporters, and community members to get involved in this movement. Together, we are working to change the rules of tattooing in South Carolina—building a stronger, more connected, and forward-thinking future for the industry.

BRINGING THE ARTS TO EVERYONE
Empowering Growth
and Creativity
At Access Art, our mission is to provide underprivileged youth with meaningful access to the arts. Through scholarships and a variety of community programs, we work to ensure that children have the tools, resources, and safe spaces they need to express themselves, build confidence, and create freely.
To support and sustain this mission, we host art focused events including our annual tattoo convention and monthly Oddities & Art Markets that celebrate unique, expressive art forms and highlight creativity as a powerful therapeutic outlet. All proceeds from our events are reinvested directly into serving youth throughout Florida and any of our host cities.
