Miami, we’re coming for you!

Join us at the Miami All Stars Tattoo Convention from Friday, November 14 through Sunday, November 16, 2025. This three-day celebration of artistry is legendary for its energy, talent, and non-stop creativity—and we’re thrilled to bring our signature style to the largest tattoo convention in the US. Show hours are 12 pm–12 am on Friday and Saturday, and 12 pm–10 pm on Sunday.

Tickets can be purchased here: https://theallstarstattooconvention.com

Wendy will be set up for walk-ups all weekend—first come, first served. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to snag a fine line piece, painterly watercolor, micro-realism, or a nature-inspired design with soft shading and delicate detail, this is it. Bring your ideas, reference photos, and an open mind—Wendy loves to collaborate and can tailor something small and elegant or bold and colorful to fit your vibe and placement. We recommend arriving early to join the list. You can also book in advance using our Venue booking link, or choose a piece from her flash when you arrive. Pro tip: bring a government-issued ID, stay hydrated, and have a protein-packed meal before you sit so you’re comfortable through the session.

Meanwhile, Darian is officially competing and is actively seeking a canvas. If you’re ready to wear an award-winning tattoo created live on the convention floor, reach out to Darian to apply. Ideal candidates can sit for extended sessions (3 days required), are open to size and placement that best suit a winning design, and are excited to be part of the spectacle. This is a rare chance to collaborate on a standout piece at the heart of the show, surrounded by top artists, and the electric buzz that makes Miami All Stars unforgettable.

Deposits, pricing, and aftercare will be discussed at the booth (or you can cover everything online in advance); we accept cash and standard electronic payments. Please avoid needing to pay with a card at the show, unless you have requested an electronic invoice ahead of time to save everyone time while on the convention floor.

New to tattooing? We’ve got you. Flip through our portfolios, talk placement and scale, and let us guide you toward something timeless. Wear comfy layers, avoid heavy sun exposure before your session, and plan a chill evening afterward. We’ll send you off with clear aftercare instructions so your new piece heals beautifully. We are always stoked to receive the honor of giving someone their first tattoo, but we need a seasoned sitter if you want to apply to be Darian’s convention canvas.

Whether you’re hunting for your first tattoo or adding to a growing collection, we can’t wait to meet you and create something meaningful. Mark your calendar: November 14–16, 2025. Set reminders for those late-night show hours, gather your inspo, and plan your Miami weekend around a creative high like no other. Interested in being Darian’s competition canvas or have questions about walk-ups with Wendy? Contact us in advance so we can review details and confirm eligibility. See you under the bright lights in Miami!

Swing by our booth and say “Hi!”

Darian will be entering some of his large-scale custom work into competitions, so swing by the stage in the evenings to hype him up and cheer him on! Wendy will be offering walk-ups all weekend for anyone interested in a fun tattoo to commemorate their convention experience.

We’ll have flash and pre-drawn concepts available at our booth—no appointments needed, but early arrivals get the first pick!

We’ll also be accepting limited custom appointments each day for those looking to bring something personal to life. Please contact the respective artist in advance if you would like to book a larger piece for the convention. Please contact Darian directly if you are interested in canvasing for a competition piece. Just a gentle reminder that competition pieces require total creative freedom, and the ability to sit still and well for multiple day sessions.

Deposit Required for Custom Work
A non-refundable deposit will hold your spot and guarantee a seat in our chair during the show.

Come soak up the electric convention atmosphere, meet incredible artists, and walk away with fresh ink and a story to tell! Also, even if you are not looking to snag a new tattoo that weekend, it seriously always makes our day when our clients travel just to come see us at events. Y’all showed up for us so hard at Charlotte this year, and we are eternally grateful!

Follow us on Instagram & Facebook for event updates, canvas opportunities, and behind the scenes content as we count down to one of the best weekends of the year.

We’ll see you under the lights of the convention floor—machines buzzing, ink flowing, and magic happening all around. 🖤
