Ink’D Arts Fest 2024

Ink’D Arts Fest 2024

In 2024, Ink’d Expression Arts was organized with the goal of creating a local festival space for our tattoo artist community to network and do what they do best – badass tattoos! Featuring the Midwest’s best ink artists along with live music and a platform to showcase talent, the Ink’d Arts Fest was born.

Our idea is to connect the tattoo artist with the tattoo enthusiasts at the Ink’d Arts Fest, creating a tattoo festival experience for years to come.

Kankakee County is known for its attractive Riverfront State Park and agriculture, located about 60 miles (ca. 97 km) from the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois.

Our laid-back, river valley community provides the perfect event space for tattoo enthusiasts to come together, relax, and get some ink done at the first annual Ink’d Arts Fest. Transforming the Northfield Square Mall into a Tattoo Expo this October is an event you won’t want to miss!
