Top tattoo artists are flying in from as far away as Japan, China, Thailand and Singapore, let alone from all over Europe, America, and the UK.
As well as over 200 tattoo artists, there is a huge amount of complementary entertainment and visual experiences to enjoy, including exhibitions, artistic events, live rock bands, burlesque performers from around the world, let alone a range of traditional East End themed bars, restaurants and food stalls. But the best part of attending can be seeing the visitors and their tattoos.
Zodiac Mindwarp will headline the Voodoo Crypt Stage on Saturday 26 September at 11pm playing tracks from their new "Viking-mythology-inspired" studio album, 'We Are Volsung'.
