ExCel London London reviews by real event-goers

Review of Big London Tattoo Show

I attended the Big London Tattoo Show and found the entry fee to be reasonable. However, I was disappointed by the exorbitant prices for food and drinks inside the event. Additionally, the absence of a map for the stands and stalls made it quite challenging to navigate and figure out what/who was present.

Review of Big London Tattoo Show

Signage is not good.
Staff speak little or no English.
Music was WAY too loud.
The event itself was brilliant and the venue and food was very good.

Brilliant day…for the whole family. Both my partner and I met really nice tattoo artists who created great tattoos.

Review of Big London Tattoo Show

Honestly I was very disappointed, I found it all very lacking in atmosphere, and really expected to see more than 1 piercer there, the one piercing stand there was, was closed for about 1.5- 2 hours

Review of Big London Tattoo Show

I loved it, got two tattoos, enjoyed the mini-shows, rode the fairground rides. My only suggestion would be to not put the coffee vendor so close to the main stage, the queue was a bit mixed in a spectator crowd at times and the music was super loud.

Review of Big London Tattoo Show

Very expensive to get a small tattoo here, which i was hoping to do, but not willing to pay £80-£100! Amazing to watch some of the awesome tattoo work going on. Great place to come to decide on the style of work you want on your body. Great to see some of the alternative tattoo styles about now

Review of Big London Tattoo Show

The played Ozzy (that is why I gave 4 stars). The venue is not a patch on Tobacco Dock, but filled with the funfair rides and pinball machines, they enhance it a little. The entry ticket price is fair. as the rides are free, but the food and drink prices inside are very high, and should be capped by the organisers. There are some amazing tattoos being created from some very talented artists. Overall it is well worth attending if you love tattoos and affiliated merchandise.

A great fun day out! Thousands of people exploring art and fueling creativity.

Review of Big London Tattoo Show

Terrible light inside , sterile atmosphere , nothing like the old tobacco dock shows which were wonderful .
It was an awful experience and event , waste of my time and money .
I don’t plan to go again next year, and would tell everyone I know not to bother going .

What a complete rip off the pictures on the website for the convention made it look so much more better but when we got there it was a major disappointment!! It says kids are welcome it's not child friendly we walked out after half hour. Very disappointing
