Ink & Anime Con 2026 Thank You ✨️
Our first event has come to an end and we couldn't be more proud of what we were able to accomplish this year!
You all showed up and showed out for Amarillo and it was absolutely awesome seeing everyone and everything come together after a years worth of consistent planning.
Being able to put this show on and support the vendors, artists and tattoo artists was truly heartwarming.This would not have been possible if it werent for you all! I loved seeing all the smiles and laughs shared and the vibes were right!
The feedback from all the attendees, vendors and artists really hit my heart and mattered. I am taking notes on things to adjust so that the show is even better next year... oh yeah, Ink & anime Con 2027 is going to be a thing thanks to YOU!!!
Studio 38, thank you from the moon and back for sponsoring the con, funding and helping bring the community closer together. Shelbee Abernathy, Zane J. Followwill thank you for holding it down, helping and representing. You guys are amazing and truly deserve the world!
Juan C Garcia you and Vincent Somes took no prisoners and really judged the tattoo competitions with an eye for detail, technicalities, artistry and application. Thank you for doing the thing! Your deliberations and explanations not only mattered but helped those that took the time to ask why. You both gave advice, pointers and professional insight and that goes such a long way and helps make us all better as artists. Thank you for being a part of the Ink & Anime con Family!
Give Juan another round of applause for making the sweet vampire lady design for our con, you are the man and can't wait to see ya next year!
Brittany A. Livesay, Kristopher FlyingHawaiian Perez, Gabrielle Heggie thank you for being our cosplay guests and judges. You all led the cosplay community to victory and it was wonderful seeing the passion come from each of you. Prop wars was awesome and the attendees really enjoyed getting to work with yall!
Mark KidWok Britten, when I reached out to you late 2025 I had no idea we would become such good buddies. It's been quite a journery with it's fair share of ups and downs but brother I gotta say THANK YOU for trusting me to pull this off!! You helped so much in making sure this event had appreciated VA's and led the event as our honored MC. Lindsay Roberson thank you for helping when you were not obligated to do so, passing out vendor and artist meals and helping make sure things went smooth truly speaked volumes on your character. You and Mark are exceptional humans and I'm glad our paths crossed a handful of years ago in Colorado. I can't wait to see yall again, be safe on your way back home!
Charles Campbell thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining the show, you are legendary and it was awesome getting to talk to you and hear part of your story. Looking forward to catching up some day!
Our media specialists Kaos Ysaguirre & Lukas Moreno are hard at work putting together our video/ pictures and I can't wait to show you all the wonderful times and moments we shared over the weekend.
Tracey Jo Ligon and Travis Meyer thank you for supporting all the tattoo artists and supplying them with top notch supplies. You really came through in a time of need and are greatly appreciated, a dream team! Looking forward to seeing you both next year, may your travels treat you well in the meantime
I can't tag all the vendors, tattoo artists or artists however, please know that you all are greatly appreciated, heard and seen! Your feedback is gold and I'm glad you all trusted us enough to come to our inaugural con. I can't wait to see you all next year!
Huuuuge thank you to the Amarillo Civic Center Complex and your staff. You guys are incredible at what you do and we couldn't be more pleased to call your venue the home of Ink & Anime Con!
