DON’T PANIC! Dino Tattoo Show 2027 applications open this September! Space is LIMITED this year, so don’t fossilise! Get ready to roar before it’s too late. It’s not the end of the world… probably......

Three icons. One deck.

Ninorc x Dino Tattoo Show x Barber DTS have joined forces to create a very limited edition skateboard deck that’s built to be displayed, collected, and admired.

Blending tattoo culture, skate heritage, and bold artistic vision, this exclusive collaboration is a true statement piece. Whether it ends up hanging in your studio, on your wall, or becoming the centrepiece of your collection, this is one you won’t want to miss.

Only 10 decks have been produced, making this an incredibly rare collector’s item.

For a limited time only, you can get yours for just £50.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone… so don’t hang around. These won’t last long.

Welcome To The Dino Tattoo Show

Where Ancient Beasts Meet Modern Ink

The Dino Tattoo Show is back for its 4th year — and it’s bigger, wilder and more exciting than ever.

An award-winning, international tattoo convention, Dino brings together world-class tattoo artists, collectors and dinosaur obsessives for a weekend unlike anything else in the UK.

What started as a crazy idea has grown into one of the country’s most distinctive tattoo events — bringing together two serious passions: great tattoos and dinosaurs. 🦖

Built by artists, for artists, Dino is all about incredible work, good people and an atmosphere that’s welcoming, professional and genuinely fun.

With international artists travelling from across the globe, exciting new developments for 2027 and limited space available, this year is set to be our biggest chapter yet.

So don’t panic. It’s not the end of the world… but you probably don’t want to miss this one.

Dino Tattoo Show 2027. Four years in. Still evolving. Still roaring. 🦖🔥

🦖 Seating Plans Are Now Fossilised! 🦖

Our seating plans are now officially set in stone (or should we say… fossilised!). We’ve spent countless hours carefully planning the layout to make sure everyone is in the best possible spot and, wherever we could, we’ve tried to accommodate your requests. It’s been a bit of a Jurassic-sized puzzle, and we hope we’ve pieced it together perfectly!

Of course, even dinosaurs made the occasional mis-T-Rex-take, so if something isn’t quite right when you arrive, don’t panic! Come and have a chat with a member of the Dino Tattoo Show team and we’ll do everything we can to help get things sorted.

This year we’ll also be operating a one-way system for access. Please follow the corridors & enter from the bottom of the hall and follow the route into the main arena. Keep an eye out for our signage and our friendly volunteers, who’ll help steer you in the right direction. By following the one-way system, we’ll keep everybody moving faster than a pack of Velociraptors and make the show flow as smooth as possible for everyone.

Thank you for your patience and understanding—we can’t wait to welcome you to another ROAR-some Dino Tattoo Show!

“Over the past fifteen years, I have cultivated my expertise across a multitude of stylistic disciplines,” reflects master tattoo artist, Matt, in a recent interview. “Yet, my profound passion has always remained rooted in vibrant colourwork, pop-culture iconography, and the realm of surreal, avant-garde design.”

Now, Matt is channelling this extensive experience into an exclusive, highly anticipated seminar. This premier masterclass is meticulously designed to guide fellow practitioners through the inevitable challenges of the medium—from dismantling creative blockades to conquering technical limitations and overcoming artistic stagnation.

For tattoo professionals seeking to elevate their technical proficiency, ignite a renewed sense of inspiration, and rigorously refine their craft, this event is an unmissable opportunity. Secure your attendance and redefine your artistic trajectory.

THE CRAFT Seminar is Will Gee breaking down his entire tattoo process ~ Openly, clearly, and without ego.
From a deep dive into Hz, machine choice and understanding, to colour theory and colour mixing, to a diverse approach in digital design and planning.
This is real craft explained properly.
No gatekeeping.
Just knowledge you can actually apply the very next day.
And what’s more, we’re brining this to you entirely FREE.
Estimated run time 2hrs but may vary.
