The Coven: Tattoo & Arts Expo
The Coven is a new women-led and run, 2 day Tattoo & Arts Expo celebrating tattoos, individuality through self-expression, and the creative community within the ever evolving Australian tattoo industry
The event places a strong emphasis on connection, inclusivity, and fostering genuine community within this industry.
We’ve focused the demographic to what we find is our community and biggest clientele: the goths, witches, little weirdos, LGBTQIA+, disabled and Neurodivergent folks; who have felt traditional tattoo expos were inaccessible and intimidating to attend as they are today.
Creating an intimate and exclusive environment we’ve limited space to 82 artists and 20 retailers. Creating ample opportunity to make sure the event exhibits people who share the same values and ethics that our event promotes, as well as ensuring the quality of tattooing taking place at the event is at its finest.
Patrons will also be able to get tattooed on the day, enjoy food trucks, roaming entertainment, interactive activities like craft stations, support small businesses and their local witches and participate in charity fundraisers ensuring there’s something for everyone to experience over the weekend.
