A must for tattoo lovers

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

great event, very well organised. it was great being able to have the day before to set up so it wasn't a massive hectic rush like it's been at other events i've done. good amount of time to set down as well and someone always on hand if we needed help getting something down or putting up. Music was sometime the right levle, other times felt a little to loud. but would 100% do the event again.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

Attended on the Sunday and enjoyed every minute. Plenty of space to move around, great idea of signs saying if the tattoo artists were fully booked or not. Excellent choice of other stalls selling unusual items and all at reasonable prices. Plenty of choice for food and drinks, especially enjoyed the Black Tears Rum. After chatting to some of the tattoo artists have some new ideas for tattoos and will be booking in soon to get pieces done. It's great to attend shows as can get to see artists works that you wouldn't normally see and can find new ideas/styles/artists to book at a later date. Just hope this becomes a regular event as great location and no issues with parking.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

Good day out, venue was a little small, felt a little cramped. Was really good to be able to see what different artists offer and see their standard of work. Would definitely attend again.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

For what it was the area was just too small and cramped which meant the atmosphere wasn’t there, maybe if you opened up a bigger area it would of been more enjoyable

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

This was a tattoo show not a gig, so the music rating was just for the algorithm. Nice venue, good size for this type of event. Well organised and good staffing on the day.

Skinwizard tattooed there all weekend

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

Really good space. Easy to navigate up and down the lanes of exhibitors.

Exhibitors were really friendly and engaging.

It was great to have some music playing.

I love coming to events like this to see what artists there are not too far from my local area. It's really great to see the different styles and really awesome to see them in action.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

Nice friendly convention to work. Music wasn't varied enough to suit all tastes and occasionally crept too loud. Offputting when you are trying to concentrate on doing a tattoo.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

Brilliant event, hope it becomes an annual event.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

Credit to Gary and the people involved in bringing this together. Many obstacles were out on their way but they overcame everything and it happened. The show was amazing, great venue, all of the artists were superb, the caterers were excellent and the clothing and other vendors were selling quality products.
This will grow from strength to strength now. I am totally looking forward to next year's tattoo show.

Friendly atmosphere, good music and the food was great. All the artists were very attentive to individual requests.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

I've been to many Tattoo conventions over the years. Some have been excellent, others not so great, but this was great, especially for a first one. Will definitely go again next year.

Review of The Great Western Tattoo Show

It was really good as a first show.
I thought the tickets were too expensive though, and the prices the artists were charging for TINY tattoos.
The atmosphere was great and everyone was really friendly.
