This spectacular event will be jam packed with entertainment, vendors, celebrity appearances. Limerick Tattoo Convention which will be taking place in the South Court Hotel will be expanding on the prospering and healthy tattoo culture already existing within the city.

Organiser Roy Keane discussed the upcoming event and its history stating: “There hasn’t been a tattoo convention in Limerick in 17 years.

“Limerick was the only city in the country not hosting an event of this kind, we all just kind of waited for someone to organise it.”

Limerick is a city already rich in art and culture with multiple tattoo studios and urban art dotted around the city such as Allstar Ink, Hardknox Tattoo, Bullmans Tattoo and Living Art Tattoo all located in the heart of the city. With a city so ripe in  healthy tattoo culture, Limerick will be welcoming the convention with open arms.

The convention is expected to welcome between 1,100 and 2,000 tattoo and tattoo culture enthusiasts to the city as well as talented artists from up to 20 different countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Japan and North America. Mike Chambers and Chris Crooks are among the outstanding artists which Limerick will welcome for the event, while internet personality and host of Sullen TV, Bernadette Macias, will be hosting the convention.
