So you’ll probably find a decent cross section of folks at the Atlanta Tattoo Expo. Now in its 16th year, the three-day gathering features about 50 artists showcasing their work. Seminars, vendors and, of course, tattooing will be available. Live music includes performances by Dixie Duncan, Foz Rock and Digital Slumber Party. Those looking to show off body art that’s typically unseen can enter the bikini contest Saturday evening. Tattoo contests take place, too.
