Manchester, UK 28th February, 2015. Trudi Atkinson from Keighley at the 14th Manchester International Tattoo Show. Thousands of tattoo lovers flocked to Manchester this weekend to get inked by some of the world's top body & leg artists. Manchester International Tattoo Show returned to Manchester Central on Saturday and Sunday with a line-up of more than 250 tattooists and body piercers from across the UK, Europe and the USA.
Crowds of tattoo lovers queued outside Manchester Central to be inked by the world’s leading tattoo artists this Saturday (28th February). Organisers of the Manchester International Tattoo Show (which is one of the longest established and best loved tattoo events in the UK) reported that they’ve seen a huge surge in demand for tickets for this year’s show, with advance ticket sales up by 364%. This reflects the stellar rise in demand for tattoos in recent years, and the growth of this annual event, which is taking place at Manchester Central from 28th February-1st March. Event Organiser, Shelley Bond, commented: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the level of demand for advance tickets for this year’s show, with a staggering rise in advance ticket sales of 364% from last year. Based on the big queues to get into the venue on Saturday morning, we’re braced for a similarly sharp rise in ticket sales at the venue. “We have a fantastic schedule of entertainment lined up throughout the weekend and are proud to be providing an opportunity for talented Manchester bands and artists to perform before an international audience.” Thousands of tattoo lovers flocked to the venue to get inked by leading artists from Spain, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Sweden, America, China, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany and, of course, from all over the UK.
