welcome to the 2015 edition of the
CELEBRATING
IN EDMONTON
We are excited to be an annual event now at The Edmonton Expo Centre.
What is the festival all about? Mainly it is to promote amazing tattoo work by local, national and international
artists. In addition we are excited to bring you everything tattoo whether it be great vendors with tattoo related
clothing and merchandise, or the non-stop entertainment on stage all weekend!
For those that are in search of a great artist, the show is the best place to do this. All of the artists at the show have
gone through an approval process to ensure quality skill and technique.
Having the best at this show makes it easier for you to look through portfolios and talk to different artists to make
your search an easier one.
Having national and international artists also gives you diversity and the chance to meet and connect with artists
you may not usually get to.
This year we have special talent recognized from reality TV including Jime Litwalk, a past contestant from Season 3
of Ink Masters, plus Tommy Helm and Jasmine Rodriguez from the popular Tattoo Nightmares.
We also have UK artist Paul Humphries, French arists Amy Mymouse, Vero Min and Noka as well as USA artist Nick
Chaboya, Jamie Henderson and Brian Ragusin.
In addition to all of the amazing tattoo artists, we also have tattoo contests happening on Saturday as well as the
coveted tattoo of the day at the end of each day of the festival.
On our Main Stage this year we are featuring the Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow Revue! Based out of Florida this
is the largest touring sideshow with amazing characters such as Bryce ‘the Govna’ Graves, Chelsea No Pants and
Short E. Dangerously. Plus don’t miss roaming entertainer Matt Gone known for his checkerboard face tattoo, and
being one of the most tattooed men in the world (99% of his body!)
Friday’s Adult Night will be heating up with tattoo model and burlesque dancer Masuimi Max from Los Angeles.
And finally our celebrity guest Danny Trejo will be making a special appearance on Saturday. Trejo is best known for
classics like From Dusk Till Dawn, Con Air, Heat, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy and the Machete movies.
Welcome to one of the year’s most interesting and colouful festivals Edmonton has to offer,
be sure to look for us again next May!
