Hell’s Ink Tattoo Shop Takeover 2023 Schedule & Locations
First up, the Hell’s Ink Tattoo Shop Takeover 2023 is only taking place in the United States (US). This isn’t the first event, as last year, hundreds of dedicated fans lined up to receive a Diablo-inspired tattoo around the world across eight (8) cities.
This year, for the 2023 version of Hell’s Ink Tattoo Shop Takeover, we will see four locations in total, as announced by Blizzard. Three locations have already been confirmed, with the 4th one being up to the community to decide. Blizzard explains:
To vote for Diablo Hell’s Ink to host a tattoo shop takeover in your city, head to the Diablo Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages to cast your vote. Submissions will be accepted from February 1–February 7 and will announce the winning location later. We will only be accepting submissions for cities located within the United States for this tour.
Yes, the 4th one that you can vote for is also just for a US city, leaving the rest of the world to probably head to their favorite local tattoo artist if they want one.
