Those with a taste for the tattoo life gathered at the first direct bank arena today in Leeds today for a gathering of artists and enthusiasts.
The 11th annual Leeds International Tattoo Expo is being held at the arena this weekend and sees international artists and leading local talent on hand to give visitors their next design.
There specialists in a range of styles - from traditional and realism to neo-traditional, blackwork, fine line and cutting-edge contemporary designs.
The expo also features a carefully curated market of boutique traders, offering everything from alternative fashion, jewellery and artwork to lifestyle products and tattoo essentials.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can also enjoy a full programme of live entertainment and interactive activities, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere for tattoo lovers and newcomers alike.
General admission is £20 and tickets for Sunday’s event are still available through the arena’s website.
Our photographer was there to capture all of the action on Saturday.
