Shark Con 2025

When I first heard about Shark Con I thought, why haven’t I heard of this before? I mean, I love sharks and all things oceanic and nautical. So at the advice of fellow artists and friends, I signed up for Shark Con 11 and was really impressed.

I’ve set up my art booth at tattoo conventions, music festivals, comic cons, culinary events, and more, and Shark Con was a very unique experience. There were great talks about conservation, education, and humorous shark stories all coming from the stage. Netflix celebrities were giving talks and roaming the floor to visit with vendors, and never in my life have I seen so many shark related outfits. It seemed everyone was adorned with shark shirts, socks, shoes, hats, jewelry, swim shorts, and of course tattoos.

If you’re wishing you had made it to Tampa, FL for this incredible experience, but missed the boat, don’t worry. I’ve already signed up for Shark Con 2026. See you there next summer!
