A massive tattoo convention is coming to Portland this March

Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that tattooing takes a serious amount of skill and talent. Whether you’re a tattoo lover yourself, or maybe you just want to admire some artists’ work, the Oregon Tattoo Expo is the perfect place to do both.

This third annual expo is all set to take place in March at the Oregon Ballroom at the Riverfront Marriott in downtown Portland. The new venue has a full service hotel and restaurant on site, valet parking, and even an amazing river view.
