A one-night pop-up in Vancouver is combining two things you don't usually see together: tattoos and tequila. On November 10, 2026, Prophecy Cocktail Bar — tucked beneath the historic Hotel Georgia downtown — hosts INK & DRINK, a Mi Campo Tequila event pairing flash tattoos with cocktails. Vancouver is one of just three Canadian stops on the tour.

The format is straightforward. Book a roughly 30-minute appointment online in advance and show up 10 minutes early. You'll pick a design from a selection of flash tattoos — no custom commissions here — then show photo ID and sign the usual waivers before sitting down with the artist.

That artist is Roman Arabia, a Toronto-based tattooist known for traditional, Irezumi and geek styles. His work blends classic Japanese techniques with pop-culture influences like anime and gaming, so the flash on offer is likely to range from the classic to the thoroughly nerdy.

Once the ink is done and you've had the aftercare rundown, the reward kicks in: a complimentary Mi Campo Tequila cocktail, one per person. Mi Campo is made with 100% Blue Weber Agave and leans traditional Mexican in method but modern in style — smooth, soft and slightly sweet, which makes it a natural fit for margaritas and palomas.

The venue earns its billing too. Prophecy sits beneath Hotel Georgia and plays up the building's glamorous past with a cocktail list to match, so the drinks should hold their own against whatever ends up on your arm.

A few practicalities: participants must be 19 or older, both for the tattoo and the alcohol, and everything depends on booking ahead since it's a single night. The bar is at 801 W Georgia St, right in the downtown core and easy to reach on transit.

If the usual dinner-and-a-few-drinks rotation has gone stale, this is a genuinely different kind of night out — you leave with a story and a souvenir baked right in. It also works well as a group thing: pick your flash designs together, take turns in the chair, then toast the results. Just think through your design choice before the tequila does it for you.
