Liverpool Tattoo Convention returns to the city for its 9th year on the 6th, 7th & 8th May 2016 with a theme of 'Respecting the Past, Celebrating the Present and Embracing the Future'.
Renowned for its innovation, non-stop entertainment and atmosphere, and widely perceived as the most prestigious and innovative tattoo event in the UK - the convention returns to the Britannia Adelphi Hotel this year. The 3-day event will include over 250 UK and international tattoo artists, the UK Tattoo Industry Awards, non-stop live music from some of the countries finest bands, freakshows, fire shows, burlesque glitz, glamour and tantalising performances! The Convention promises to be a weekend to remember and a true celebration of the art of tattooing.
Last year's show was a huge success with 6000 people enjoying the festivities and setting record attendance numbers in the process. The 2016 show is set to be bigger and better, jam packed with more artists, more traders, and more entertainment.
The convention will see the return of 'Artists Day', a great opportunity for artists to get tattooed by peers, take part in the seminars and workshops or simply network and chill. The 'Artists Evening' will then see some great bands perform and the winners of the UK Tattoo Industry Awards announced live.
Organised by Liverpool tattoo studio 'Design 4 Life', The Liverpool Tattoo Convention is regarded as a must-attend show in the industry, honouring tattoo culture, lifestyle and art. There is something for everyone during this relaxed and enchanting weekend of tattoo, art and variety entertainment.
