The Fuel Girls are just one of the acts you can see at the Big North Tattoo Show, which is taking over the Utilita Arena in Newcastle for two days this May. (Some of the world’s best tattoo artists will also be in attendance.) Oh, man!

This May, the Big North Tattoo Show is gearing up for their biggest ever event. In fact, it’s going to be the biggest event of its kind ever seen in the north-east. Presented in association with the ink bible that is Total Tattoo magazine, around 300 of the very best tattoo artists will be there and showing off their extravagant skills. Whether you’re a tattoo enthusiast, simply curious about tattoo art, or just want a fascinating and entertaining day-out, the Big North Tattoo Show welcomes all. And if you’d like to get yourself some new ink, then you can book an advance appointment, or, if you’d prefer, have a browse around because many artists will have space set aside for ‘walk up appointments’. As mentioned above, there will be plenty of other entertainment over the two days including The Fuel Girls who will be showing off their fiery ways and means. Grab the full programme, and all the other details, from the website, below. GM
