Calgary tattoo show - Winter Edition - Big Four Road House - Calgary, AB

Photo coverage and recap by Riot Lens Media Co.

The second Calgary Tattoo Show ‘Winter Edition” was on last weekend at the Big Four Roadhouse. The event boasts some of the best artists, vendors, and performers that Western Canada has to offer. With host Erin Porter guiding attendees through the weekend and keeping the tattoo contests running smoothly, there was always something happening across the floor.

Tattoo of the Day honours were awarded to Bailey Tattoo on Friday, Edward Best on Saturday, and Anthony Michaels on Sunday, giving the crowd a highlight to gather around each night.

The weekend’s entertainment was led by The Cabaret Company, formerly Cabaret Calgary Productions (2017–2024), Western Canada’s largest cabaret company. Their performances brought burlesque, drag, comedy, live music, circus, and more — adding a strong stage presence that carried the energy beyond the tattoo booths.
