About

The Montreal Tattoo Show is a three-day convention at the Grand Quai du Port de Montreal on rue de la Commune Ouest, which debuted in 2026 with roughly 300 artists. Alongside the floor it ran 15 competition categories, a seminar programme and live entertainment.

For a working artist this is the newer of the two large shows using the Grand Quai, and its first edition is the only track record so far. A 15-category contest structure is wide enough that most styles have somewhere to enter. No follow-up edition had been announced as of July 2026 and ticket pricing is not published, so treat it as a show to confirm directly with the organizer before you plan travel or book a booth.

What to expect

Best for

Montreal-area artists willing to take a first-edition show on its merits and confirm the next date directly with the organizer.

Notable: A 2026 debut running 15 separate competition categories in its first year.
