There’s a lot which brings people from all over the Midwest to the annual Ink in the Clink at the Ohio State Reformatory.

Outstanding acts with national headliners. Over 80 of the best tattoo artists in Ohio. Tours of the venerable prison, with a sneak peek of the new Blood Prison experience coming later this year. Food trucks, “adult beverage” stands, and “oddity vendors.” Beer gardens and psychic mediums.

While some performers come from as far away as New York, the big three Ohio cities are represented, with bands from Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland.

Show hours are 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 1:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Sunday. Parking is $10, with shuttles available from parking areas to OSR.

For standard ticket purchases online, visit this location.

Below is a short preview of what you’ll experience at Ink in the Clink.
