Hundreds of world-class tattoo artists. Thousands of fans. Untold gallons of ink. Travis Barker presents MUSINK completed its 10th annual festivities with 20,000 in attendance over a monster weekend of performances from California punk legends including Bad Religion, NOFX, Pennywise, plus The Used, Glassjaw, Goldfinger (with special guest Travis Barker on drums), and more.
The annual music festival and tattoo convention featured daily tattoo contests, the Low 'N' Slow Car Show (presented by Travis Barker’s Famous Stars and Straps and Tribal Streetwear), a vendor village, the Miss MUSINK competition, and one of the world’s biggest gatherings of elite tattoo artists March 17, 18 & 19 at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, CA.
Here is some of what the press had to say about this year’s MUSINK:
“By the third and final day of the 10th annual MUSINK Tattoo Convention & Music Festival on Sunday a lot of the fans, most of whom splurged on three-day passes, were sporting their fresh tattoos and still had plenty of energy left over to get wild during evening sets by Pennywise and Bad Religion.”
--Orange County Register, March 20, 2017
“As consistent as the artwork of a great tattoo artist, MUSINK continues to deliver a weekend of ink, punk rock, and good times year after year.”
--OC Weekly, March 20, 2017
“The event has emerged as the largest tattoo and music festival in the nation. After getting the full experience, there is no doubt that punk rock has found its place in the 21st century. It’s here. In Orange County. At MUSINK.”
