To all our Artists, Vendors & Attendees;

The Hilton is opening July 1st instead of their scheduled date of June 1st. Because of this, they are pushing back all of their shows, including ours.? The new date for the 2021 Empire State Tattoo Expo will be October 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We believe these dates will also benefit the show being able to be open at full capacity.

Thank you for your continued support

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Listen, the world is still shaking some of the pandemic off its pants and while the vaccinations are increasing by the day the whole general public are not rallying behind it and that is making the organization of larger scaled events problematic. Things are opening but many are delayed and one can only imagine how something like the NYESTE will be coordinated when the time comes this October. I’ve been attending this expo since 2017 and believe it or not I don’t have a single tattoo. I am a fan of the amazing art and the awesome vendors and I gladly support them with “The Chronicles” voice when its possible to do so. There are always cool guests and a fun stage presentation to enjoy along with lots of things you can purchase even if you aren’t getting yourself inked. As I close this news up I wonder what you readers think about the change and wonder also if you were planning on attending or not. Truth be told outside of a quick museum visit back in December I haven’t really been to anything at all. I am debating a visit to the Affordable Art Fair which happens later in the week but that is only because it will be strictly enforced with Covid-19 protocols. That’s all I have on this and I will say goodbye and see you next time. Please stay safe out there.
