Thousands of tattoo lovers have showed off their detailed and colourful inkings today as they bared all at one of Britain’s largest conventions.
The three-day event held at London‘s biggest indoor event space, The Excel, has seen body art enthusiasts from across the country descend for new pieces.
Now in its fourth year, the Big London Tattoo Show has welcomed seasoned artists from the UK, Ireland and further afield, with their tattoo guns at the ready.
The event has been described by organisers as a ‘showcase [of] the incredible skills of 450 of the very best international tattoo artists’.
Many of today’s visitors were covered head-to-toe in tattoos, flashing the flesh to show off the intricate designs scrawled all over their bodies.
While others opted for even more tattoos, filling in any blank spaces available on their skin.
