Art Tattoo Quebec, May 29-31, 2015

[Graeme]

Pierre and Val who run Tattoomania in Montreal and who are the excellent folks behind the annual Montreal tattoo convention, have partnered with Jay Marceau and D-Markation in Quebec City to hold the first annual Quebec City tattoo convention. Anybody who has been to the Montreal convention knows how good it is: there are plenty of world-class tattooers there working in pretty much every style, and it's just a really fun convention with a really good atmosphere. Quebec City is also a gorgeous city to visit. The lineup so far is looking to be great. I'll have to see where I'm at with my back and how much money I'll have available to get tattooed but I'd really love to get something from Deno.

Here's the website, facebook, and instagram for the convention with information about attending artists:

Is anybody thinking of going to this? Me and @Pugilist will be there for sure, and it would be cool to have a little LST meetup if anybody else will be there.

I should also mention that you can get proper poutine in Quebec. I know that everybody who comes from out of province to the Montreal convention wants to eat poutine, but Montreal poutine is pretty crappy compared to the stuff you can get off-island.

Based on how well the Montreal convention is organized I'd love to attend this, but between my back piece and a bunch of wedding invites, 2015 is going to be a huge financial drain.

and now i'm going to day dream about poutine...

We might go to this. Quebec City is a great place, and although we went last summer, there is still much to explore. And, I might get a new tattoo.

@Mark Bee - this is a real niche market suggestion, but I will point out that this is happening right before Congress, so if either of you are planning on going to that, you could combine a QC/Ottawa road trip and live the dream, so to speak. :)

[Mark Bee]

@Pugilist Ohhh that is a grand idea! On it!

Heck yes!

I'd really like to come to this but there's not much chance since I'm headed to Texas in March. Poor planning on my part to some extent - especially if the poutine is really better. I thought the Montreal poutine was quite delicious, actually!

I will definitely try to get out to this next year though. I haven't been to Quebec City since our Grade 7 class trip.

They keep on announcing good artists and today they posted that Mike Wilson and Angelo Miller from Inksmith and Rogers are going to be attending. I hope my back is in a place where I can put some money aside to get tattooed because I don't want to miss this opportunity.

Ill be up in Quebec on a business trip in May. I hope I make it in.

[Graeme]

For your sake I hope winter is over by then.

For your sake I hope winter is over by then.

I hope so too, It gets down to the 30's F here in Texas and I am freaking out, Bones hurt and shit...... lol

Weather is crazy up north...

[Patrick Bateman]

I was legit planning on taking a trip to this. Then I realized my Summer school will start by then.

Good thing for me, since Deno is going to be there I hope at some point he comes back to NYC or NJ this time around.

[xcom]

I just mapped the trip. Ill be two hours from the hotel to the convention.

Ill cya all up there for sure!

[Graeme]

Cool, man. We'll have to arrange an LST meetup closer to the date.

[xcom]

@Graeme, I am game. I will be up there 2 to 3 weeks before the actual convention.

[Mark Bee]

I'm really looking forward to this convention.

[Pugilist]

I'm really looking forward to this convention.

Are you or the lady making appointments for it??

[jen7]

Wow, only a 4.5 hour drive from me.

[Mark Bee]

Are you or the lady making appointments for it??

I doubt it at this point. Funds are very tight, so I think we'll just go for the fun of it - maybe score a walk-up if we can.
