HappyHouse at BorderCity Tattoo Expo May 22-24 | Lloydminster 2026

BorderCity is 10 days away. We've been packing, pressing, and keeping a few things very deliberately under wraps. Here's what's waiting for you at the booth.

Here's what we're bringing and why each piece of it matters.

The Live Press Experience

We're bringing the heat press to the booth. You come over, pick from our original HappyHouse designs, Jeffy loads it up and presses it right there in front of you. Then comes the best part: the peel.

If you've never peeled a fresh transfer off a shirt yourself you're genuinely missing out. Jeffy presses it, then hands it over to you. You do the peel. In real time, with your own hands, on camera. It's oddly satisfying in a way that's hard to explain until you've actually done it. Film it. Post it. We want to see it everywhere.

You walk in, you pick from the classics, you watch it get pressed, you peel it yourself, you walk out wearing something you were part of making. That's the experience and there's nothing like it at any other booth.

The Pre-Pressed Rack

Not everyone wants to wait. Not everyone wants the full production. Some people just want to walk up, grab something incredible, pay, and keep moving through the expo. We respect that completely.

The pre-pressed rack is fully stocked all weekend and here's the thing: that's where all the unreleased stuff lives. Every design on that rack is something you cannot get on the website right now. Some of it may never make it online. The rack is the treasure hunt. And look, maybe you've seen our stuff online and you're into the designs but you've never met us and you're not sure about the vibe. That's fine too. The rack is for you. You don't have to talk to anyone. We genuinely mean that with love.

Everything on the Rack Is Unreleased

This is the part we've been quiet about on purpose.

The rack is where the unreleased stuff lives. Every single piece hanging on it at BorderCity is something that does not exist on the website right now. We're not going to tell you what the designs are. We're not doing a preview drop. We're not teasing anything specific on social.

You have to come to the booth and dig through the rack to see them.

Some of these designs might make it online eventually. Some of them won't. Either way the people who were at BorderCity will have something that nobody else could order from a phone at home. That matters to us. The people who show up in person deserve something the algorithm can't give them.

Why BorderCity

This is the fourth annual and they moved into the brand new Cenovus Hub for a reason. More space, more artists, more energy. Three thousand people are expected over the three days. The crowd that comes to BorderCity drove hours to be there. They're not casually walking through. They showed up on purpose and they're in it all weekend.

Those are our people. And this year we're coming with the most intentional booth setup we've done yet.

Come early on day one if you want first pick of the unreleased stuff. Once certain pieces are gone they're gone and this time that's actually true. We'll see you there.
