Annual Pacific Ink Art Expo Tickets

The Annual Pacific Ink Art Expo (PIAE) is Hawaii’s flagship culture-forward tattoo and ink expo, founded in 2012. Rooted in Polynesian heritage, kakau and tatau, the event brings together artists, dancers, and communities for a celebration of ink, artistry, and tradition. PIAE showcases hundreds of tattoo artists under one roof, with live performances, keiki (kids) activities, authentic Hawaiian cuisine, and a Miss PIAE contest that honors talent and culture. The expo has grown into a must-attend experience for locals and visitors seeking authentic Polynesian tattoo artistry and a snapshot of Hawaii’s vibrant arts scene.
