THE TATTOO CONVENTION
The Event centre at the Norfolk Showground plays host to our tattoo convention. Two whole days of tattoo artists from up & down the country coming together to create art & showcase their talent!
HOW IT WORKS
1
Book a tattoo
Lots of the artists exhibiting at the convention take pre-bookings! Keep an eye on our social media accounts or message them directly to book your spot.
2
Walk up spots
Most of the artists will be taking walk up spots for flash tattoos all weekend. Walk around the convention browsing their work & then book flash there and then or for an allocated time over the weekend!
3
Tattoo Awards
The artists who aren't offering walk ups over the weekend are working on pieces for the awards. These are judged at the end of each day, stick around to see some serious talent or offer to sit for the day by contacting artists directly!
