Anyone know of any upcoming punk shows in the Philly area?

I will be visiting the Philly/DC area from the 18th-20th this month. I would love to see a great show as a "tourist" in another state. Are there any punk/hardcore/psycho-billy shows happening during the time in that area? Just to give you an idea I'm into Bouncing Souls, Dropkick, Horror Pops, Tiger Army, etc.

Oh! And a heads up on any awesome tattoo artists in the area would be much appreciated also. Thanks!
