The Great Western Tattoo Show 2024

Over 90 tattoo artists, from all over the United Kingdom, will be descending on Swindon for the return of The Great Western Tattoo Show on the 27th and 28th July 2024!

Tattoo and art fans can browse the artists, many of them competing to be the best in category and best in show. Watch as dozens of people get inked and see the tattooists produce amazing works of art in front of your eyes.

Fancy some ink of your own? Then get in touch with an artist in advance to see if you can be their canvas for a day or find an artist with availability whilst at the convention.

Interspersed with the artists will be dozens of stands showing off their ‘alternative wares’ and tattoo related goods from jewellery and clothing to art and homewares. There’s guaranteed to be something that you wouldn’t normally be able to find on the high street.

If you fancy a rest from tattooing and shopping, we’ve got you covered with a diverse range of street food options outside and coffee, cake and two bars. One of these bars will be dedicated to showing off Black Tears Rum!

Although you obviously have to be aged 18 or over to get inked, the show is family friendly (except the after party which is being held at another venue) and accompanied children aged 14 and under are free.

Advance tickets will be permitted entry from 10 am and everyone else from 11 am. A great way to get ahead of the queue!
