Big London Tattoo Show
Last September, the Big London Tattoo Show debuted at ExCeL London, where over 10,000 visitors came to be entertained, socialise and get tattooed. This year, the show returns on bank holiday weekend, 26th & 27th August Bank Holiday and promises to be even bigger and better.
There will be over 400 of the very best tattoo artists demonstrating safe and creative tattooing, free fairground rides, fire shows, entertainment, art galleries, retro pinball arcade, custom car displays, market and more – there is no event like it.
You can get tattooed on the day, ‘walk up appointments’ are available, although if you want to be tattooed by a particular artist at the show, it’s advisable to contact them beforehand for a time-slot. From traditional swallows and hearts, to photo-realistic portraits, there is a style to tempt everyone. There’s also body piercing available for body jewellery fans. Even young tattoo enthusiasts can feel included, with a temporary tattoo.
This promises to be the biggest tattoo event in the UK, which has considered suitability for all ages.
Advance tickets are reasonably priced at just £27.50 for the day, or £48 for the entire weekend (children under 14 go free) and are available from www.biglondontattooshow.com
