About
The Fredericton Tattoo Expo is New Brunswick's capital-city tattoo show, held each April at the Capital Exhibit Centre on the Fredericton Exhibition Grounds on Smythe Street. It runs three days and pairs the artist floor with vendors and live entertainment. The official artists page lists 140 or more tattooers. The organizer does not publish a company name, only an email contact.
For a working artist the draw is a large roster for the size of the market, at a low cost of entry: admission is $15 a day or $35 for the weekend through Showpass, which keeps walk-up traffic moving across all three days. Competitions run at the show. If you work the Atlantic Canada circuit, it sits in the spring slot ahead of the summer shows further west.
