The Winter Tattoo & Arts Festival is the Calgary organiser's cold-season edition, held in Hall A of the BMO Centre at Stampede Park. Like its sister shows it runs Friday to Sunday with live tattooing, judged contests, entertainment and retail booths. The organiser groups its artist roster into nine style categories: black and grey, blackwork, fineline, floral, illustrative, Japanese, neo traditional, realistic and traditional. Artists apply directly and must have at least two years of experience plus a valid bloodborne pathogens certificate.

No opening hours or ticket prices published. Two stale items on the organiser's own site: the Featured Artists page is still headed "2026 Featured Artists", and the main page links a 2026 ticketing URL while the tickets page links the correct 2027 one. The 2027 link is used here.

Hours, pricing and the artist lineup are published by the organiser as the event gets closer — this page fills in as they announce.
