Here’s What You Missed From the 2019 Calgary Tattoo Convention

Check out the highlights from Canada's largest tattoo convention

This weekend, Inked was invited to the Calgary Tattoo convention in Alberta, which happens to be the largest convention in Canada. Hundreds of artists from near and far gathered at the BMO Stampede and amazing tattoos were created throughout the three day show. Take a look at some of our favorite tattoos inked at this weekend’s convention in the gallery below and let us know your favorite piece of the bunch in the comments section.

Words can’t explain what this feels like! But I’m going to try anyway. It was such an honour to win this award in my hometown. In the Neotraditional/Traditional category. There are so many talented artists out there and I feel very lucky to receive this. Tattooing is not about the accolades or trophies, but it does feel incredible to be recognized for hard work. Thank you to Jordan for sitting tuff on this tattoo. Thank you @stevepeacetattoos and @albertatattooshows , always, for a great show! Thanks to my boss @shazundalin and co-workers @ascendingkoi for making me feel at home! #yyctattoo #tattooflash #calgarytattoo #neotrad #neotraditional #neotradflash #ascendingkoitattoo #ascendingkoi #flash #tattoo #ink #403 #tattoos #bold #fortunecircus #tradflash #flash #yegtattoo #yeg #edmontontattoo #albertatattooshow #blackandgrey #traditional #tradtattooflash #traditionaltattoo #neotraditionalflash #albertatattooshows #canadiantraditional

In progress- doing a white on black sleeve that is actually covering a previous white on black sleeve. Insane, but I love how it’s coming out.
