The Calgary Tattoo & Arts Festival – Winter Edition returns to the BMO Centre from February 19–21, 2027, bringing together some of the province's most respected tattoo talent for a weekend dedicated to creativity, craftsmanship, and community.
Designed as a more intimate counterpart to Canada's larger tattoo conventions, the Winter Edition offers visitors the opportunity to engage directly with artists, explore diverse styles, and experience the culture of tattooing in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Throughout the weekend, attendees can discover a wide range of exceptional talent, from Traditional and Neo-Traditional tattooing to Realism, Black & Grey, Fineline, Floral, Illustrative, and Japanese-inspired work. Whether you're looking for your next tattoo, researching artists, or simply appreciating the craft, the show offers an inspiring showcase of contemporary tattoo art.
More than a Tattoo Convention, the festival features live entertainment, shopping, special attractions, and crowd-favourite tattoo contests celebrating outstanding work completed during the event. Visitors can browse unique products from exhibitors, connect with creators, and immerse themselves in a vibrant atmosphere that reflects the passion and talent behind the industry.
Friday evening introduces a special Adult-Only Night , adding an exclusive after-hours experience with entertainment tailored for a mature audience. Produced by the team behind Canada's leading tattoo conventions, the Winter Edition creates a space where artists, collectors, and enthusiasts can come together to share ideas, discover new talent, and celebrate the art form they love.
