Overview

About

Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival has run since 2018 at the former Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, a National Historic Landmark famous as a filming location for The Shawshank Redemption. The event pairs rock, punk and metal performances with a large tattoo convention, plus prison tours and horror-themed attractions. Its unusual prison setting sets it apart on the American festival circuit.
