The first annual East Van Tattoo Show is set to take place in the vibrant neighborhood of Mount Pleasant from August 23rd to 25th. This highly anticipated event will bring together tattoo artists, enthusiasts, and curious onlookers for a weekend of creativity and celebration.
Organized by the East Van Tattoo Collective, the show aims to showcase the diverse and thriving tattoo culture in East Vancouver. With over 50 local and international artists participating, attendees can expect to see a wide range of styles and techniques on display.
The show will also feature live tattooing, giving visitors the opportunity to witness the art form in action. In addition, there will be a variety of vendors selling tattoo-related merchandise, as well as food and drinks from local businesses.
One of the highlights of the event will be the tattoo competition, where artists will compete in different categories such as Best Black and Grey, Best Traditional, and Best Portrait. The winners will be chosen by a panel of judges and will receive cash prizes and trophies.
Aside from the main event, there will also be after-parties and networking events for artists and attendees to connect and share their love for tattoos. This is a great opportunity for those interested in getting a tattoo to meet and consult with different artists before making a decision.
The East Van Tattoo Show is not just about showcasing the art of tattooing, but also about celebrating the community and culture surrounding it. It is a chance for people to come together and appreciate the beauty and significance of tattoos in our society.
Tickets for the show are available online and at the door, with discounts for early bird purchases. Children under 12 can enter for free, making it a family-friendly event. So mark your calendars and join us for a weekend of ink, creativity, and community at the first annual East Van Tattoo Show.
