Festivals & Public Events

Hundreds of guests. Dozens of designs. One system that doesn't break.

We bring a 4-person crew, a 10x10 footprint, and a flash sheet designed for the crowd — so the line keeps moving and the art keeps up.

AT FESTIVAL SCALE

The activation that runs itself while you run the festival.

Most tattoo activations cap out at 40-50 guests. We built ours for the other end. A 4-person crew moves 12-15 tattoos an hour and clears 250-300 guests a day without breaking a sweat. The host keeps the line moving. The assistant keeps the station clean. The artist does what artists do. 30% of people who walk up get inked. The rest walk away knowing exactly what we do. That math is the system.

Festival Timeline

From first call to final flash

High volume doesn't mean high stress. The system does the work so the artists can do the art.

Step 1

Festival Sync

Walk dates, audience, footprint, and electrical with your production team. We confirm crew size, throughput, and flash scope for the crowd.

Step 2

Permits & City Compliance

We handle venue COIs, health department sign-offs, and city permits. Every artist carries current licenses, BBP certs, and $2M insurance.

Step 3

Flash & Booth Build

Custom flash sheet designed for the festival — 8 to 12 designs, fast to tattoo, photogenic in a crowd. Booth build matches the energy of the event.

Step 4

Load-In

Crew arrives early. 10x10 station, power, and wash station confirmed with your production lead. We run a 30-minute rehearsal before doors.

Step 5

Multi-Day Execution

For festivals, the system scales. Add artists, add stations, run a 3-day weekend. Same crew model, same throughput, same art.

Our Team Structure

Purpose-built for events

To ensure safety, speed, and hospitality, we do not send solo artists.

01

Tattoo Artist

Licensed, BBP (Bloodborne Pathogen) certified, and event- trained. They focus exclusively on precise tattooing—not logistics or cleaning.

02

Tattoo Assistant

Preps the skin, places the custom stencils, sterilizes the station, and briefs guests on aftercare. Speeds up transition time to under 2 minutes.

03

Check-In Host

Manages iPad check-ins, digital waivers, flash sheet navigation, and waitlist queuing. RBS-trained to discreetly monitor sobriety.

04

Event Coordinator

Manages load-in, logistics, health department sign-offs, and serves as the single point of contact for your event planning team.
