Standard Tickets - $500. (This event centres around advancing women in the tattoo industry through women-led education, connection and community. We believe the participation of men is important to this goal, however recognize the need to maintain a women centered environment, therefore we have a limit of 10 tickets reserved for our male allies.) 

VIP Conference & Hotel - $1,250 (Includes 3 nights hotel and an exclusive art print.) (If any of the men would like to upgrade to the VIP package, please purchase the standard ticket for men and then email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to arrange.)

Women's Tattoo Collective's annual conference is for tattoo artists (19+) working in a professional, licensed setting, including apprentices* in mentorships with professional artists.

(This event is not yet ready to accommodate permanent makeup and cosmetic artists.)

In order to ensure that each ticket goes to a professional artist, we'll be reviewing each ticket purchase.** 

*Apprentices are welcome to attend with or without their mentors.

**Artists who do not meet the criteria for this event will have their tickets cancelled and refunded, minus a $20 admin fee.

All genders are welcome.

Our conference is open to everyone who is committed to learning from, supporting, and working alongside women in the tattoo industry. To create change in the industry, we need our men allies learning from and supporting women too. 

That being said, we understand that the need for women only spaces is also important. We've also had requests for a more chill activity for those who don't enjoy large groups.

For these reasons, we've created two event options for Saturday evening:

• Our signature Women's Industry Night is reserved for our women and non-binary guests.   
• Our new Art Night is open to all genders.   

As in previous years, Women's Industry Night (WIN) is a lively networking event with a rad DJ, cash bar, sticker trade, tarot reading, and photo ops. Connect, celebrate, and feel the magic of a big event filled with your industry sisters and non-binary siblings. 

Art Night will be a smaller, quieter event with chill music and art supplies. Stretch your creative muscles, have a casual chat, and enjoy the company of your fellow artists with less pressure to socialize or drink.       

Doors open at 8:30am on Saturday and 9:30am on Sunday, so we encourage you to book your hotel for November 7-9th (Friday and Saturday nights - though you're welcome to stay longer!)
