The result was a meaningful celebration of regional talent, small businesses, and tattoo culture that felt less like a corporate activation and more like a neighborhood gathering built by music fans, for music fans. The next Inked & Amped event will take place at The Ramova Theatre in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood on Thursday, September 17.
