The Seattle Tattoo Expo is coming this weekend — and we’re on pins + needles.

The event runs from Fri., Aug. 19-Sun., Aug 21 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall and will feature artists from all over the country, burlesque shows, and contests.

To celebrate, we made a small gallery of some of our favorite Seattle + PNW-inspired ink designs that include the mountains, city skyline + a Seahawks fan still salty about the Super Bowl XLIX loss.

We also took our SEAtoday pride to another level with an augmented reality + tattoo design app. In your face, Post Malone.
