Updated: Aug 17
If you’ve been thinking about getting a new tattoo, this August is a great opportunity to meet artists from across the country — and get tattooed while you’re there.
The West Virginia Tattoo Expo returns to Morgantown, WV, August 21–23, 2026, bringing more than 200 tattoo artists together for a full weekend of live tattooing, art, vendors, contests, and tattoo culture at the Morgantown Event Center.
Andres, known as ABCTATTOO will be tattooing at the convention throughout the weekend, and we are currently accepting a limited number of appointment requests for Morgantown.
If you’ve been following Andres’ work and have been waiting for the right opportunity to book with him, this could be it.

Meet Andres
Andres is a tattoo artist known for creating detailed custom work with a strong focus on black and grey, fine line, blackwork, realism-inspired pieces, lettering, ornamental work, and designs that naturally complement the body.
Whether you already have a very specific idea or simply know the subject and style you’re interested in, you can submit your concept before the convention so Andres can review it.
