What is F.A.R.T.S.?
F.A.R.T.S., short for Feral and Rowdy Tattoo Studio, is a chaotic, traveling tattoo collective where a band of feral and talented artists come together to offer flash tattoos at markets and other pop-up events. Born at Goblin Market, F.A.R.T.S. isn’t tied to any one shop, it’s a roaming crew, uniting different artists, styles, and vibes in one mischievous package.
Unlike a tattoo convention, F.A.R.T.S. keeps things intentionally small, with a carefully curated lineup of artists chosen for the quality of their work and the energy they bring. Each event features a rotating cast of independently operating professionals from across the region, making every pop-up a fresh and unique experience.
Is F.A.R.T.S. ran by Goblin Market?
While F.A.R.T.S. often sets up at Goblin Market, it is an independent tattoo pop-up created and organized by Gnaski. It wouldn’t exist without the Goblin King’s generosity and willingness to say yes to a slightly unhinged idea. Goblin Market serves as our gracious host and trusted ally, providing the space and all that signature goblin magic. F.A.R.T.S., on the other hand, handles everything tattoo-related, including planning, artist coordination, systems, and day-of operations.
Because of this, any questions or concerns about tattoos, booking, artists, or your overall F.A.R.T.S. experience should be directed to Gnaski, the creator and organizer of F.A.R.T.S., rather than the Goblin Market team.
How did F.A.R.T.S start?
In late September 2025, Gnaski noticed Goblin Market was looking to collaborate with tattoo studios to bring ink into the Goblin Kingdom. Having already attended as both a guest and an art vendor, they were immediately excited by the idea of participating as a tattoo artist.
Around the same time, the tattoo studio Gnaski had worked at for three years came under new ownership, and the new direction included rebuilding the studio with new artists rather than retaining the existing team. Because of that, pitching a collaboration between the studio and Goblin Market was no longer an option.
With that path closed but the opportunity still very much alive, Gnaski decided to pursue it independently. They reached out directly to the Goblin King with the idea of handling all the tattoo logistics and recruiting other independent artists, and that conversation ultimately led to the first F.A.R.T.S. pop-up in November.
Are F.A.R.T.S. artists employees?
F.A.R.T.S. tattoo artists are independent professionals, not employees of F.A.R.T.S. or Gnaski Creative. Much like artists in an artist alley at a convention, each tattoo artist operates their own business and is responsible for their own services, pricing, and client interactions. F.A.R.T.S. simply serves as the event host and coordinator of the space, systems, and overall experience. Because of this structure, all payments and service-related matters are handled directly by the artist, and F.A.R.T.S. is not able to issue refunds or make financial decisions on behalf of individual artists, since they are independent operators rather than employees.

HOW DOES BOOKING WORK DAY OF?
Each artist is marked by their own color. Find your artist’s color, then check their chart to see if they’re accepting walk-ins or working by appointment only. All flash sheets will be tagged with matching color-coded stickers on the day of the event, so you can easily track down your goblin.
HOW DO I GET A WALK-IN TATT?
Each artist has up to 4 color-coded sticks for walk-ins. If you see one available in your artist’s color, grab it and you’re officially in their walk-in queue. Once all sticks are taken, walk-ins for that artist are paused until one opens up again. At that point, you can add your name to the waitlist so your artist can reach out when they have space. No stick = no guarantee of getting tattooed.
Artists choose how many straws they put out, and these color-coded sticks help us quickly see who you’re waiting for, so there’s no awkward guessing. Be sure to stay in the waiting area and keep your straw visible so your artist knows you’re ready.
DO ARTISTS TAKE CUSTOM TATTOOS AT THIS EVENT?
Each artist has their own processes, check with the artist directly or check the artist’s chart the day of the event to see if they're doing anything customized!
WHAT IF I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT?
If you have an appointment, scurry on into the wait room! Scan the intake form and fill out your details. You must be 18 or older to get tattooed at FARTS. so keep your ID ready, your artist will peak at it before the magic happens.
HOW dO I GET TATTOOED AT THE NEXT FARTS POP UP?
To give yourself the best chance at getting tattooed at the next F.A.R.T.S. pop-up, you can subscribe to the F.A.R.T.S. newsletter for flash drops and future events, or you can keep an eye on the official Goblin Market's Instagram @goblin.marketfl for updates or follow Gnaski, the organizer, on Instagram at @demonoftheink.

How do I join F.A.R.T.S.?
Wanna join the dark side? ;D To be a part of F.A.R.T.S. you have to fill out an application. Applications for events are usually released the month before the event. Spots are limited as we only have space for around 10 artists at max.
Keep in mind that the flash you submit, whether as examples of your work or designs you plan to use at F.A.R.T.S., play a chungus role in the selection process alongside your portfolio. Follower count and years in the industry matter far less than creativity, so if you’re a newer artist, don’t be scared to apply!
hOW DOES THE SELECTION PROCESS WORK?
At F.A.R.T.S., we're looking for artists with personality, creativity, and their own unique style.
Technical ability matters, but we also place a strong emphasis on originality and distinct styles, and we judge that by how you design tattoo flash. This is a flash-heavy event, so original, eye-catching designs go a long way. You can be a great tattoo artist, but if creating your own designs isn’t your strong suit, you might not do well with our audience.
With that said, experience isn’t everything; what matters most is that your work has heart, intention, and feels like you. At the end of the day, it’s all about community, creativity, and matching the feral vibes of F.A.R.T.S. 😈
What kind of flash should I submit?
What kind of flash you submit is totally up to you! Most flash events are one-day events, so we usually recommend small to medium pieces that can be done pretty efficiently.
F.A.R.T.S. events run about 8 hours long (not counting setup and takedown), so keeping that in mind will help you plan what you bring for the day.
Do artists need to provide their own equipment?
Yep! Anything you need to run your station should be brought by you, this includes your tattoo bed, arm rests, supplies, equipment, sharps container, and anything else you rely on day-to-day.
F.A.R.T.S. does provide a printer and stencil printer on-site for artist use (but there is no wifi...yet). We also supply disinfectant, green soap, distilled water, and all client consent forms, so you’re covered on the basics.
Is there a booth fee or percentage split?
Yes! Booth fee for F.A.R.T.S. at Goblin Market is currently $200 per artist. For other events, booth fees may vary depending on the space, setup, and logistics.
As F.A.R.T.S. grows, we're working on offering more flexible options for artists who are just starting out or can’t comfortably cover the fee upfront. That part is still being built out, though, so nothing is set in stone yet.
Can artists do custom tattoos or only flash?
Artists are more than welcome to provide custom tattoos, but it is strongly recommended to have a page of flash available.
What size tattoos work best for F.A.R.T.S events?
Small to medium tattoos work best in F.A.R.T.S. events. With the limited time we have for the event, it's best to avoid doing large pieces where there is a risk of having to do another session. Some attendees are at the event for the day only and are from other areas of FL or even from out of state.
How does walk-ins/appointments work?
Artists have the freedom to decide whether they want to be by appointment only, take walk-ins, or a mix. Just remember not to bite off more than you can chew and overschedule yourself.
For walk-ins F.A.R.T.S. has the straw system. Each artist will have 4 color-coded straws for walk-in clients. When someone grabs one of your straws, they’re officially in your walk-in queue and can be seated when you’re ready. Once all your straws are taken, your walk-ins will pause, and any new clients will go onto a waitlist so you can reach back out when/if you’ve got space again.
You get to choose how many straws you put out (1, 2, or all ), depending on how many walk-ins you want to take on. The colors also make it super easy to see who’s waiting for you, so there’s no confusion or “who are you here for?” moments during the rush.
It’s basically just a way to keep your flow manageable and make sure anyone waiting for you is actually able to get tattooed, rather than having someone wait for hours only to learn they aren’t getting tattooed.

Conventions, markets, or private events like weddings…F.A.R.T.S. would love to be there! Please reach out at least 2 months before your expected event.

From there, we’ll discuss space requirements and what’s needed to make the setup safe, smooth, and ferally chaotic. If the energies align, we’ll handle the tattoo side of things and bring the full rowdy crew to your event.
