2023 sees the fantastic Tattoo Tea Party’s 11th convention and we cannot wait!

Held in Manchester Central convention hall, which is perfectly situated in the centre of the city between Deansgate and Manchester Oxford Rd train stations, this year will see around 360 tattoo artists plying their trade and making tattoo art before your very eyes.

Expect to see tattoo awards, fairground rides, pyrotechnics, motorbikes and sideshow acts, plus excellent merch and homeware for the weird and wonderful attendees.

We’re excited to see a few of our sponsored artists make the trip up north for Tea Party, including Aggie Vnek from Abrakadavra Studio in Ipswich, Bara Barawski representing the neo-traditional element of the Six Bullets crew in London, and Rossie de Medici making the trip from Ireland to offer black and grey portraits and horror tattoos.

Arron Raw will also be attending, offering his usual array of sick, dark and twisted tattoo work, while Adam Blakey will be set to impress with his black and grey realism skills.

Advance ticket holders start their day at 11am while general ticket holders are permitted from 11:45am, with the fun lasting till 9:30 pm on the Saturday and an earlier finish of 8pm on Sunday.

Grab weekend tickets for £38, or pay just £20 for a full day of badass alternative entertainment - we’ll see you there!
