The 5th annual Vancouver Tattoo and Culture Show returns to Vancouver from April 26 to 28, 2013 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Passes are available at the door, only $20 for day passes and $45 for a weekend pass. It will be one very ‘inked’ weekend featuring Canadian and Japanese tattoo artists such as Horimasa, John the Dutchman, Ryan Halter and Katia Somerville. Check out the Vancouver Tattoo and Culture show website for a complete list and profile of featured artists. There will also be tattoo contests to honour the best portrait, cover-up, flash, lettering and much more. Beauty pageants, hosted by Samantha Mack, will take place in the pin-up, dead dolls and alternative model categories. See below for pageant dates.

Friday’s attendees are invited to an after party at The Penthouse on April 26. All you have to do is present your convention pass at the door between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. for free admissions.
