Tattoo conventions provide a great atmosphere for artists to share their talent and skill. If you’re an artist and looking to boost your bookings for the next year and really make a name for yourself, try and book yourself a slot at one of the conventions planned for next year!
Not only will you widen your client base, you’ll get to network with other artists, too!
One of the newest conventions to launch is the Tattoo Collective; a collaboration between Tattoo Life and The London Tattoo Convention.
Running from February 17th-19th at the Old Truman Brewery in London, over 150 tattoo artists have been invited already to showcase their work.

The convention holds its own awards, and even hosts a wide range of entertainment, such as burlesque shows, parties, and even body painting for those who aren’t quite ready to take the plunge and get a real tattoo just yet!
Tattoo Jam will be celebrating its 10th year running, and according to its Facebook page, this year’s convention will be a little bit different to the previous years, and promises that it will be even more special!
For all our Scottish artists out there, there’s a convention which is a little closer to home happening on the 26th to the 27th of March – The 7th Annual Scottish Tattoo Convention!
