The 2025 edition of the Show expands from a 2-day event to 3-day event and will be held again in London's biggest indoor event space, The Excel, an outstanding purpose built venue set against the famous skyline of London's docklands.
With FREE fairground rides, art exhibitions, sideshows, vaudeville experiences, alternative market, interactive entertainment and more to be announced. Add in some great food and drink and this event promises to be something very special.
Through art and community we'll look inwards to showcase the incredible skills of 450 of the very best international tattoo artists resident within the UK, Ireland and abroad. Watch as they create amazing masterpieces on skin, or dive in and get tattooed by the best.
