THE DINO TATTOO SHOW IS BACK!
Join us at Dino Tattoo Show 2026 on 11th & 12th July at Magna in Rotherham, featuring 200+ world-class tattoo artists
Welcome To The Dino Tattoo Show
Where Ancient Beasts Meet Modern Ink
The Dino Tattoo Show is the UK’s premier dinosaur-themed tattoo convention, bringing together world-class artists, serious collectors, and prehistoric enthusiasts for an unforgettable weekend.
Entering our third year, we’ve grown from a bold creative idea into one of the most distinctive tattoo events in the country. We merged two great passions – exceptional tattoo artistry and the timeless fascination with dinosaurs – and built a thriving celebration of craft, community, and creativity around it.
The show was built by artists, for artists, creating an atmosphere that’s both family-friendly and professionally focused. Get tattooed by internationally renowned artists, network with fellow professionals, or simply soak up an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
We’re committed to raising the bar year on year, with exciting new venue developments planned for 2027. The Dino Tattoo Show delivers an event as epic as the creatures that inspire it.
Unleash your inner dinosaur. Discover the wildest tattoo experience the UK has to offer.
