We are very pleased to invite you to our 12th Tattoo show at the Derby ‘LIVE’ Assembly Rooms in Derby on the 21st & 22nd July 2012.  Now in its 12th year, the 2 day festival has once again ‘raised the bar’ for all tattoo shows/festivals to follow.  This year’s show has expanded to not only include a stupendous and exciting variety of tattooing, but also two days of fantastic entertainment plus our special guest International Strongman Rob Frampton having just returned from the ‘World’s Strongest Man’ competition in the USA, North Carolina.

For body art enthusiasts, the Great Hall will be home to over 80 of the very best UK and International tattoo artists and body piercers, with competitions open to all attending, whilst artists will be able to shop in our new and very exclusive trade area in the 45 Suite.

An extra touch of glamour and tease will be provided by the daytime Battle of Burlesque audition heats and glittering Saturday night show from ‘Delicious’ Burlesque. For live music enthusiasts, there is a full programme of local bands and acoustic acts, rounded off by a live performance from legendary 80s glam rockers Doctor & The Medics (Spirit in the Sky).

This year’s festival has become the home to the UK’s greatest and exclusive Alternative & Burlesque Fair, with over 60 traders offering a staggering array of clothing, accessories, jewellery, artwork, encompasses many popular alternative cultures and lifestyles and much more. Vendor stalls will be situated throughout the venue, and over 18s can visit our Adult Lifestyles Village for that extra special something…..

Whatever your style, this is a truly unique and unparalleled event offering
something for everyone.
