About this edition
Prepare for the fourth annual Inked Circus Tattoo Expo, returning to Barrie, Ontario, for a three-day celebration of tattoo culture and artistry. From Friday, May 22nd, to Sunday, May 24th, 2026, the Eastview Arena, located at 453 Grove St E, Barrie, ON L4M 5S1, will transform into a hub showcasing diverse tattoo talent. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in this vibrant event. The schedule is set as follows: on Friday, May 22nd, doors open from 3 PM to 11 PM. Saturday, May 23rd, offers extended viewing hours, from 12 PM (Noon) until 11 PM. The expo concludes on Sunday, May 24th, operating from 11 AM to 7 PM. For maximum flexibility and ease of access across the entire weekend, a 3-day pass is highly recommended, allowing for multiple entries. An exclusive chance to secure a complimentary 3-day pass will be made available. A special promotional code for this free offer will be disclosed on January 1st, 2026, via an Instagram post explicitly titled "FREE TICKETS ANNOUNCEMENT." This limited-time promotion permits one free pass per person and remains valid until midnight on March 23rd, 2026. After this free redemption period, 3-day passes will become available for purchase, structured with a tiered pricing system: an initial purchase window at $10 will run from March 24th through April 6th, 2026. Subsequently, an Early-Bird rate of $20 will be offered from April 7th to May 7th, 2026, providing a $10 saving off the ultimate full price. The standard full price of $30 will then take effect on May 8th, 2026, applying to all pass acquisitions, whether conducted online or directly at the venue entrance. Your 3-day pass guarantees unrestricted re-entry throughout the duration of the expo weekend, enabling you to explore at your own pace. To ensure continuous access, it is crucial that the provided wristband remains firmly attached. Should a wristband be removed, become damaged, or go missing, re-entry to the event will regrettably necessitate the acquisition of a new pass. However, a specific provision addresses a unique circumstance: if the removal of your wristband is genuinely required for receiving a tattoo procedure performed on-site at the expo, a replacement wristband can be obtained at no charge from the front desk, ensuring your uninterrupted enjoyment of the event.
