Tattoo artists and enthusiasts from across the UK endured the blistering British heat to make the 8th edition of the Leeds Tattoo Expo truly epic.

We stopped by and saw a whole bunch of our sponsored artists, including Adam Blakey, Joshua Beatson, Julian Bogdan and Peter Murray. Anthony Lennox spent two days blasting out a mixed-style unicorn piece in neon colours, while Kyle “Egg” Williams brought Frankenstein’s Monster to life on his customer’s arm.

Check out the video for highlights of the entertainment and a whole host of artists hard at work!

Our very own Liam and Adam from Killer Ink were honoured to join the judge’s tables on Saturday and Sunday respectively, handing out ‘Best of Day’ awards. Our sponsored artist Peter Murray snatched one of these coveted trophies for his neo-traditional skull, snake and flowers piece – congratulations, Peter!

We’ll be praying for cooler weather for next year, and an even bigger and better Leeds Tattoo Expo 2024!
