Leading into the “Stained Pumpkin”
The “Ink & Impressions” gallery show serves as a curated prelude to one of the region’s most anticipated summer events: the Stained Pumpkin Tattoo Convention.
The convention will take place from July 31 to August 1 at the Pickaway County Agriculture and Event Center, offering a high-energy conclusion to a month dedicated to the artistry of ink.
Visit the Gallery
The exhibition will be hosted at the ArtsaRound Gallery, located at 135 W. Main St. in Circleville. Residents and visitors are invited to witness how the bold lines and vibrant colors of tattoo culture translate to the gallery walls.
