Review of Leeds International Tattoo Exposition

First tatt convention and certainly not the last, great experience!

Review of Leeds International Tattoo Exposition

The background music was a good mix of some classics so the songs were enjoyable however it felt too loud. It was difficult to have conversations sometimes, often found myself shouting to be heard not only over the noise of the tattoo guns but the overhead music. Even worse was when the onstage performances were on, the volume level just went higher and was actually quite uncomfortable at times. Also the lady doing the commentaries was a bit frustrating to listen to. I understand it must be hard though to try to keep a room full of people occupied but myself and a lot of the people I interacted with at the expo weren't a fan of her stage personality. Overall the stage performances were rather distracting and made it difficult to concentrate on the rest of the experience of the expo.

On a more positive note (sorry!) - the amount of quality artists at the expo was great! There was a lot of awesome work to look at, prints to buy, tattoos to get done, etc. People were good to talk to, were very friendly, especially the artists and the photographers that I interacted with. The general public were generally quite respectful.

I did notice at least one person washing their tattoo in the bathroom, even though the signs said not to... sigh :(

The venue was a good size and in a nice location, easy to get to.

Overall I had a good time! I would go again for sure because I enjoy seeing the artists, it's a good way to research and review a whole bunch of tattooists in one go and to share experiences.

Review of Leeds International Tattoo Exposition

We had a great day out, real value for money, relaxed atmosphere and fun entertainment but mostly some brilliant tattooing to view through out the day.

Review of Leeds International Tattoo Exposition

I thought the venue was really small, the prices were quite expensive and I thought that there would be a variation in stalls. Wouldn't recommend. Couldn't say it was a friendly atmosphere as barely anyone spoke to us.

Review of Leeds International Tattoo Exposition

Thumbs up for friendly staff

Review of Leeds International Tattoo Exposition

I thought the venue was small and not as much was they as there is at other conventions. If my husband had not got a tattoo we would have left and hour after arrival.

Review of Smashcon & BWE Wrestling present: SMASHCON

The venue was a bit small but i understand such places are expensive to hire, i must confess i was only there to see a particular 'special guest' & had they not been there i wouldnt have attended as i had no interest in the wrestling & little interest in the stalls so guest bookings are what gets me to these events & thus if this particular guest is not at any future events i wont be attending. The reason i would not recommend the show is purely because i was there for the special guests which were small in numbers ( obviously getting more guests to attend is somewhat out of your hands as they need convincing to come {or come back} ).

Review of Smashcon & BWE Wrestling present: SMASHCON

Great event. For a first event this was a top notch effort. The wrestling kept people entertained, there were a decent selection of stalls available and it was great to see some famous faces there too.

The only small gripe I have is the cost possibly being a little high for what was in there and I can understand parents feeling they might be ripped off. Although I felt like I got great value for money. The wrestling alone paid for it!

Review of Smashcon & BWE Wrestling present: SMASHCON

We had a great day, plenty to see and buy. Guests were varied and interacted well with other attendees. Food was good. Will go again

Review of Smashcon & BWE Wrestling present: SMASHCON

The venue was good, I personally thought the ticket price was very high. I was expecting more variety on the stalls, in my favour I did not spend that much cash once inside !!! It would be a good idea to arrange to have catering outside, burger vans etc as there was only a small catering area inside of Pizza Express next door. ( which wasn't very express!!) We all enjoyed getting into our Star Wars characters.

Review of Smashcon & BWE Wrestling present: SMASHCON

£50 was little over priced for a family of 4, but a great fun day out and we will be back
