Behind the Scenes: Insurance & Event Compliance

As INK Vancouver continues to work with schools, municipalities, community organizations, agencies, and corporate clients across British Columbia, operational requirements have naturally evolved alongside the company.

One of the realities of working in live events is that creativity is only one part of the equation. Behind every activation is a growing layer of logistics, compliance, and risk management that helps ensure events run smoothly for clients, venues, and attendees.

In 2026, INK Vancouver expanded its operational structure by maintaining $5 million liability insurance coverage and completing WorkSafeBC registration requirements to support larger public and corporate activations.

These requirements are increasingly common for:

school districts

municipalities

corporate properties

public festivals

community venues

agency-led activations

Clients may also request:

certificates of insurance

additional insured endorsements

venue-specific documentation

operational compliance verification

While these details often remain invisible to attendees, they play an important role behind the scenes in helping event organizers feel confident when bringing live activations into public spaces.

For INK Vancouver, this evolution reflects the continued growth of the company toward a more structured activation business capable of supporting larger and more complex event environments across British Columbia.

INK Vancouver — Vancouver Aquarium Public Activation Partnership

As INK Vancouver continues developing large-scale community and experiential activations across British Columbia, we recently revisited one of the partnerships that helped shape our early public event experience: our collaboration with the Vancouver Aquarium during the 2018 summer activation season.

That summer, INK Vancouver supported multiple family and community events connected to the Vancouver Aquarium’s outreach and public engagement initiatives, including activations at:

Canada Day at Canada Place

Khatsahlano Street Party

Car Free Day

Richmond Maritime Festival

River Fest

Pumpkin Fest

Culture Days

At the time, the objective was simple: create a highly engaging and family-friendly activation experience capable of attracting guests, encouraging interaction, and contributing to the overall atmosphere of each event.

What followed was an important operational milestone for INK Vancouver.

During the Canada Day activation at Canada Place, the airbrush tattoo booth became one of the busiest family engagement areas of the event, generating strong guest participation throughout the day and helping create a vibrant activation environment for families and children attending the waterfront celebrations.

Looking back, this collaboration represented an important stage in the evolution of INK Vancouver.

While the company was still operating at a smaller scale operationally, many of the core principles that continue to define the company today were already present:

guest experience first

strong event atmosphere

high-volume operational flow

scalable activation capability

custom visual engagement

community-focused experiences

Since 2018, INK Vancouver has continued expanding its activation ecosystem across schools, dry grads, corporate activations, festivals, agencies, and public events throughout British Columbia.

Today, the company operates with:

multi-artist capability

large-scale activation experience

self-sufficient operational infrastructure

refined experiential positioning

streamlined event operations designed for high guest flow environments

As the summer event season approaches once again, revisiting these earlier collaborations is also a reminder of the long-term relationships and event ecosystems that helped shape the company’s growth over time.

We remain grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to these public engagement experiences alongside the Vancouver Aquarium team and the many organizations involved throughout that season.

INK Vancouver — Honda Celebration of Light

INK Vancouver participated in the Honda Celebration of Light from 2022 to 2025.

Held along Vancouver’s waterfront, the event brings together large public audiences each evening through a combination of live entertainment, sponsor activations, and fireworks programming.

Within this environment, INK Vancouver operated a live airbrush tattoo activation inside the Honda Fan Zone. The format consisted of temporary, skin-safe designs applied in real time, allowing for rapid and continuous participation throughout the event.

The activation maintained a steady flow of visitors across multiple event days. The combination of high visibility, short execution time, and accessible participation supported ongoing engagement within a high-traffic public setting.

This type of activation reflects the growing integration of interactive experiences within large-scale public events, where direct audience participation increasingly complements traditional entertainment programming.

INK Vancouver — Overview

INK Vancouver is a Vancouver-based experiential event company specializing in airbrush tattoo activations for schools, community events, corporate functions, and public experiences.
