What Else Is There?
When you’re taking break in between sets you can get a tattoo from over 100 tattoo artists that will be at Inkcarceration inside the world-famous historic prison made famous by ShawShank Redemption. There will also be the haunted building, Blood Prison, where you can take a self-guided tour.

“…Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival made a vibrant return, infusing Mansfield, Ohio with a spectacular blend of visual and auditory art, set against the evocative backdrop of the historic, now-closed Ohio State Reformatory. Rock, metal, and body art have been intertwined since the dawn of time, and Inkcarceration is the ultimate celebration of the two colliding in an explosion of self-expression.” – Metal Injection
