5th Cyan Tattoo Invitational

Welcome to Cyan Tattoo & Arts Expo 2027 , a three-day celebration of tattooing, art and creative culture in Dayton, Ohio.

Taking place at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds from May 21–23, the expo brings together nearly 150 tattoo artists for live tattooing, walk-in opportunities and the chance to explore a wide range of styles in person.

Alongside tattooing, visitors can discover professional body piercing, independent vendors, custom art, clothing and merchandise, food trucks and a live custom vehicle show.

Daily contests and awards add to the weekend, with Tobe Drew returning as the official MC.

Cyan is designed as an open, family-friendly community event, with temporary tattoos and activities for younger visitors as well as plenty to explore for collectors, artists and anyone curious about tattoo culture.
