Salish Sea Tattoo Show 2027

The Salish Sea Tattoo Show makes its debut in Vancouver from April 2nd to 4th, 2027, hosted at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre, located at 181 Roundhouse Mews, Vancouver, British Columbia. This inaugural event spotlights the local tattoo scene by bringing together artists and enthusiasts in a space dedicated to tattooing, art, community, and meaningful connection. Unlike large-scale conventions, this show embraces a more intimate, grassroots atmosphere that keeps local tattoo artists and studios at its core, emphasizing their craft and livelihoods. Focused on fostering community and celebrating independent creative voices, the Salish Sea Tattoo Show is designed to be artist-centric and community-driven. It intentionally supports BIPOC and 2SLGBTQI+ artists and respectfully acknowledges the Unceded territories where the event takes place. Every aspect of the show is crafted to create an inclusive, welcoming environment that nurtures creativity, identity, and connection within Vancouver’s thriving tattoo culture. Taking place over three days, this first edition of the Salish Sea Tattoo Show invites attendees to experience a new kind of tattoo event—one rooted in local mission, mutual support, and artistic expression. The organizers are committed to building a strong community and can’t wait to welcome everyone to this meaningful gathering of ink, identity, and culture.
