Wild times is a block wide gathering celebrating the tattoo community and the creative works that go beyond the client’s skin.

The highlighted attraction to this event is a robust, 100 entry show featuring talented tattoo artists from the St. Louis region and beyond. In theme -Wild Times- will feature artist's interpretations of the chaos around us, the ideals, the falling empires, the false idols, the good, the bad, the ugly. The submissions will be authentic and original to form, not a duplicate - and for sale.

Alongside the impressive collection of artwork, there will be a block-wide party. Stretching down Virginia Avenue's 4700 block. From Sign of the Times Tattoo down to Tiny Postcards Counseling & Creative Arts. Food trucks, Music, Tattooing, Drinks, and a pop-up Market with vendors selling unique work.
