A night out in Vancouver this fall might leave you with something to remember it by. Literally.
On TBC, Prophecy Cocktail Bar is hosting a one-night-only pop-up where you can sip a complimentary cocktail, hang out at one of the city’s coolest bars and — if you’re feeling adventurous — get some new ink.
INK & DRINK by Mi Campo Tequila is bringing together cocktails, flash tattoos, and a night out in the city, with Vancouver being one of three stops across Canada.
How it works

Simply book a roughly 30-minute appointment online beforehand, then arrive 10 minutes before, where you’ll get to choose your favourite design from a selection of flash tattoos.
Once you’ve settled on your pick, you’ll show your photo ID, sign the necessary waivers, and sit down with Toronto-based tattoo artist Roman Arabia.
Roman specializes in traditional, Irezumi, and geek tattoo styles, blending traditional Japanese tattoo techniques with modern pop-culture influences like anime and gaming.
After you’ve been inked, you’ll get aftercare instructions before moving on to more fun: a Mi Campo Tequila cocktail! One complimentary drink is included per person.
Celebrate with Mi Campo Tequila
Mi Campo is made with 100% Blue Weber Agave and draws on traditional Mexican tequila-making, while taking a more contemporary approach to the spirit. With its smooth, soft, and almost sweet profile, it’s a perfect go-to for a classic margarita or paloma.
Prophecy is a cocktail bar located beneath Vancouver’s historic Hotel Georgia, blending the glitz, glamour, and past of the space with delicious, innovative cocktails.
So, basically, you can expect the cocktails to be just as thoughtfully made and exciting as your new tattoo.
If you’re bored of the usual weekend dinner-and-drinks routine, this is a pretty different way to spend an evening in Vancouver. Grab a friend, pick a flash design, get some new ink, and toast to it afterwards!
Participants must be 19 years of age or older to sign up for a tattoo and consume alcohol at the event. Register now via the website.
