The biggest international tattoo convention in Europe is taking place in the heart of London …

… near Tower Bridge at Tobacco Dock this weekend from Friday through to Sunday the 27th of September. For some, it will be a place to pique their curiosity and see what the buzz is all about, since tattooing has become a very popular form of self expression and I’m sure there will be many amazing sights to see. Do you have any tats? Are you looking for inspiration?

For others, for whom tattoos are a disgusting defacement of human nature, they will be steering well clear.

Yet others are descending on London with a passion to see what body art is on show and maybe to pick up one or two ideas for their own unique tattoo designs.

Expected attendance is set to top 20,000 and on show will be live demonstrations of famous tattooists at work with plenty of music and buzz in the background, bands, stalls, exhibitions and plenty of tattoo related merchandise to buy. Whatever your taste, large or small, a butterfly design for your off shoulder T-shirt look, or a star design toe ring tattoo to show off your toes through your comfy sandals or a large eagle tattoo design on the bulging biceps. You’ll find it here.

If you get the chance this weekend get yourselves down to Tobacco Dock and see the latest in tattoo mania! It is certainly an interesting way to spend the weekend… just don’t be tempted to make a spur of the moment decision! Remember, a tattoo is for life

What do you think about tattoos? Do you have one? Or do you think they’re gross?
