No Booth, No Competition
We want to remind all participating artists of a crucial rule for our upcoming event @inkthe6ixtorontotattooexpo : No booth, no competition. This policy will be strictly enforced by our team.
The decision to implement this rule stems from our commitment to fairness and integrity within the competition. We have received numerous inquiries from artists who wish to participate by simply submitting canvases without attending the event in person. However, we recognize that this practice is unfair to the many dedicated tattoo artists who travel from various countries, investing time and resources—such as hotel accommodations, meals, and airfare—to showcase their talent live at our event.
Allowing some artists to compete without attending in person would undermine the efforts of those who are fully committed to participating. Therefore, to ensure a level playing field and maintain the spirit of the competition, all entries must be present at the event.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy, as it ensures that every artist has an equal opportunity to compete and engage with the audience and fellow competitors. We look forward to an exciting and fair competition for everyone involved!
If you have any questions or need further clarification about this rule, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your support.

@oliva__tattoo Born in Siberia, Inna has lived, worked, and travelled across Europe, finally settling in Vancouver, where she could thrive at Love More Tattoo.
Her journey into the world of tattooing began through her love of drawing and the art industry. After gaining experience in body art, photography, and bartending (which she firmly believes is art), she realized her passion for tattoos when she designed her sketch and sought a master to bring it to life. This ignited her profound interest in creating tattoos, leading her to spend the last eleven years bringing art to life on her clients’ skin.

Her preferred styles are realism and drawings with depth and perspective. She loves doing animals and portraits in both grayscale and colour. One look at Inna´s tattoos; you can tell they are hers by the intensity of her colour palette and the detail of her drawings. From glistening water drops to perfectly refined textures,Inna´s portfolio is incredible.
