The INKCARCERATION FESTIVAL (formerly Ink-in-the-Clink), is a three-day music festival like no other. The Ohio State Reformatory (1896-1990), stands as a unique backdrop to this one of a kind festival and was also home to the 1994 film ‘Shawshank Redemption’, which is celebrating its 25th year anniversary. A handful of bands, including Godsmack, have also shot music videos here. With over 70 tattoo artists set up on the upper floor of the Reformatory, it was obvious that these outstanding ink artists had their hands full, as each booth displayed a placard notifying fans that each day was completely booked, so It would be a good idea for next year’s attendees to call/book well in advance prior to the 2020 festival.
