The Virginia International Tattoo at the Virginia Arts Festival
More than just a bulldog inked onto a U.S. Marine, tattoos are ceremonial performances of military music that have evolved from a European tradition dating to the 17th century. Each tattoo is different and influenced by the culture of the country whence it originated. Attend America’s largest tattoo, held annually as the headliner of the Virginia Arts Festival.
