West Plains Tatto Expo

Tattoo artists, vendors, and tattoo enthusiasts from around the country will be in West Plains this weekend, May 29–31, for the West Plains Tattoo Expo at the West Plains Civic Center. Building on the success of last year’s event, it promises to be a big weekend in town!

Local residents are invited to join in. Even if tattoos aren’t your thing, there will also be a food truck festival on the Civic Center East Lot with a great lineup of vendors. While there is an admission fee for the Expo itself, anyone can visit the food trucks.

We’d like to welcome all of our out-of-town visitors to West Plains! Be sure to pick up an Explore West Plains guidebook in the Civic Center lobby — and we hope you’ll come back and see us again soon.

Visit their page (West Plains Tatto Expo) for more details.

Stations are clean, ink is ready, and the machines are buzzing. Mike is locked in and ready for the weekend.

This is where everyone links up and the good vibes happen. If you’re around, you gotta pull up.
