In this day and age it seems that everywhere you go you see more and more people with tattoos - store clerks, bankers, doctors, models, tv and sports starts, and everyone in between! Love Hate Tattoo is proud to bring to Rochester, NY and the upstate area the INTERNATIONAL ROC CITY TATTOO EXPO on August 20, 21, 22 to be held at the downtown Hyatt Regency Hotel on 125 E. Main St. This event is the first ever of this caliber to be held in the upstate area and is open to the public. It will be 3 days of tattooing by over 100 world class artists! Come down to see and get tattooed by some of the best artists in the industry today from all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan. This is going to be one of the best shows on the east coast this year so don't miss it! The artists working at the show are on an invite only basis to ensure the highest quality and safety for everyone attending.

Please visit our ARTISTS section to see a full artist list and click on the names to view their personal web pages. Many of these artists are in high demand and will have appointments already booked before the show even starts. If there is a specific artist you want to get tattooed by you can contact them through their site to make an appointment in advance. Additionally, most artists will be displaying their own original paintings for you to view and purchase.

For guests coming in from out of town we have a special convention rate for rooms so make sure you ask for it or you can go to our ACCOMODATIONS section and book them online

We will also be having tattoo contests each day and at the end of each day a "best of day" contest. There will be cash and prizes for both the winners and artists.
