Tattoo Convention November 6th - 8th 2026
About Our Convention
This will be the first annual Ink The Island Tattoo Convention in Grand Island, Nebraska. Ink The Island Tattoo Convention was founded with a shared vision: to bring a premier tattoo event to the heart of Nebraska, showcasing the talent, artistry, and culture that define the tattoo industry. Rooted in Grand Island, we are a team whose combined experience, dedication, and passion have laid the foundation for a convention created by the community, for the community.
​
Together, we are committed to creating a high-quality, inclusive, and artist-centered convention that elevates tattoo culture in Grand Island and beyond. We look forward to building an annual event that celebrates artistry, inspires connection, and leaves a lasting impact on our community. We will continue to update this site as we receive applications for artists & vendors, and as we secure entertainment, as well as speakers for the Tattoo Seminar!
