About
The Quebec Tattoo Show is Quebec City's main tattoo convention, a three-day August event at the Centre de foires de Quebec on rue de l'Exposition, part of the ExpoCite grounds. It was founded in 2024 by Tommy Renaud and Melissa Vezina, owners of the ParadoXe Tattoo studio, and reaches its third edition.
Scale grew fast for a young show: 450 artists worked the 2025 edition and 480 are advertised for the next one. Competitions and live programming run alongside the floor. Admission is priced with taxes included at $31.62 for a single day for ages 15 to 64, $28.74 for 65 and over, and $86 for the three-day pass. For a working artist it is the Quebec City counterweight to the Montreal shows, in a market that has only had a convention of this size since 2024.
