About This Convention

UKTTA Manchester is a two-day tattoo convention run by UKTTA, an organisation that began as an Instagram page promoting UK tattoo artists before moving into live events. The organisers stage two conventions each year, one in Birmingham in spring and one in Manchester in summer. The Manchester edition brings together more than 400 tattoo artists working live, alongside traders selling art, clothing and jewellery, street food and bars, and a stage programme of competitions, DJs, live music and fire performers. It is held at Depot Mayfield.
