Review of Leeds Tattoo Expo

Overall rating: 5 Verified review

Had an incredible time yet again at the Tattoo Expo!! Lots of artists and creatives to connect with, entertainment is varied and on most of the day. You can spend all day here! And I love that you can come and go once you have your wristband. Only downside is the food and drink prices inside the arena (which has nothing to do with the actual expo) - but as you can come and go you can get your own refreshments! Already looking forward to next year

Great venue for a tattoo expo. Lots of artists from across the world in attendance but without feeling cramped. Really friendly and safe atmosphere, diverse crowd of artists, guests and stall holders. Wish it could be held more than once a year!

A first for us and what a great experience. We had 5 done between us, my husband being a tattoo virgin. Loads of creative choice, super professional and very friendly. Absolutely loved it!

Very poor from a convention I thought personality, there was no atmosphere at all and the variety of artists was very limited

An amazing event that I attend every year, every year exceeds the last. The amount of amazing artists and vendors at the event is overwhelming. So many freebies, prints, clothing, merchandise, food etc available at amazing prices. The show case of artists is always impeccable from local artists surrounding Yorkshire to those travelling further afield, it’s extremely difficult to walk away without getting a flash tattoo! The venue is spacious with hilarious entertainment (perfect for if you’re waiting for a friend or family to get a flash tattoo), they have aircon which was perfect considering it was almost 27c in Leeds this weekend. Everything was just great, another amazing event. Can’t wait for next year.

Need more food options, seating space and more openness from artist would be nice. Little information about competition, no sign post or anyone to approach. Being on my own was especially intimidating... Otherwise it was good, many interesting artists

Leeds tattoo expo this year (2023) was filled with some incredible artists and was a pleasure to walk around and interact with. Even if some artists didn't have space that weekend it was still nice to talk with them and pick up a business card to get something done later down the line. Would happily go again next year :)
