INFO

After a successful first ever Tattoo Factory Bedford we are here with our second year.
We merge from the early 1900’s Industrial Tattoo Factory into futuristic 3020’s Tattoo Factory.
You might be an artist or public member who didn’t get a chance to join us in 2025, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to join us in 2026.

Tattoo artists galore will be available to your curiosity.
Immerse yourself in a bustling factory of ideas, artwork and merchants where you’ll find a congregation of some of the most talented artists in the country. Watch them fight it out for the top spots of each competition category. After all is said and done, who will manufacture the best tattoo and be crowned CEO of the Tattoo Factory?

This family friendly, fun-filled weekend won’t fall short of your stupendous expectations if you’re in the mood for an obnoxious amount of major tattoo innovation, alternative entertainment and jaw-dropping talented traders swathed as far as your eye can see. From corner to corner, the factory will be full to the brim of creation of the most incredible artwork you can imagine!

A tattoo convention is a room full of highly skilled tattoo artists taking walk-up tattoo requests from the public and tattoo artists tattooing their own models for competition entries. Traders can be found alongside these artists selling their weird and wonderful creations to anyone who wishes to purchase. There is family friendly entertainment to enjoy and delicious food to purchase if you fancy a delightful treat or a well needed pick-me-up.
