It's bold, beautiful and sometimes bizarre - the Big North Tattoo Show always knows how to make a mark and its return to Newcastle this April 29-30 is set to attract the usual huge crowds.
Bringing together a range of tattoo artists from around the world under one roof at Utilita Arena, the show offers a unique opportunity to watch masters of the craft at work. And for those wanting their own one-off tattoo or personal piece of art, this promises to be just the place to get it.
The giant convention, billed as a family event, made its debut in the city in 2017 and proved an immediate hit. Alongside local tattoo artists who are given a wider platform for their art were renowned international names showcasing a range of different techniques.
