Returning for its third year, the Big London tattoo Show promises another round of packed crowds, inked masterpieces, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.

The Big London Tattoo Show is more than just a tattoo convention. Sure, the event will highlight the skills of 450 top international tattoo artists from the UK, Ireland, and beyond, but there will be plenty of other entertainment as well. Visitors can expect free fairground rides, art exhibitions, sideshows, vaudeville experiences, an alternative market, interactive entertainment, and much more, making the event more tattoo-themed amusement park than convention. You'll still have plenty opportunities to watch skilled tattoo artists create stunning skin art or to get inked by the best in the business.

The 2024 edition of the Big London Tattoo Show will once again take place at ExCeL, London's largest indoor event space, set against the iconic skyline of the Docklands. Whether you're an avid tattoo fan, looking for inspiration for your first tattoo, or just eager to soak in the vibrant, creative atmosphere, mark the first weekend of September on your calendar.

Day tickets to the Big London Tattoo Show cost £33.25, while full weekend tickets come in at £55.25. You can find out more and book your spot on the event website here.
