thank you all for another amazing year!
Thank you to everyone who took the time to attend. Your support, participation, and positive energy made the event truly special. It was great to see you all, and I sincerely appreciate you being there. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
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 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.

🦖 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.
