The Manchester Tattoo Show 2009 is now in its 8th year and has developed into a truly international show with a selection of over 100 invited tattoo artists and body piercers, as with some "big tattoo show" we do not limit the invites to big names in the industry as we remember we all started somewhere, so we have a smattering of the up and coming and the new to the show scene crew plus Trade Stands, Market Stalls, a two day competition and much more...

About Manchester

Manchester is a city that caters for the young and young at heart and those with any sort of artistic bent cannot help but be inspired by it.

Most visitors come for the nightlife, which is rivalled only by London and Edinburgh. The city has a lot to offer in the way of entertainment from giant bustling nightclubs, swanky wine bars, and grubby student dives combining to make going out in the city a real pleasure for revellers of all tastes.

There are literally hundreds of places to eat in the city with a hugely varied choice of food available including Chinese, Italian, Indian, Jamaican and Mexican to name but a few.

Manchester is famous for its football heritage, museums, art galleries, music, nightlife, and alternative lifestyle and shopping, with all the transport links and hotels to make your visit a truly memorable occasion.
