Leeds International Tattoo Expo 2026
The 11th Annual Leeds Tattoo Expo returns to the iconic first direct bank arena, Leeds, on 6 & 7 June 2026, promising its biggest and boldest weekend yet.
Across two action-packed days, LITE will bring together some of the world’s finest tattoo artists, representing a huge range of styles – from traditional and realism to neo-traditional, blackwork, fine line and cutting-edge contemporary designs. With leading local talent alongside internationally renowned artists, this is a rare opportunity to get tattooed by some of the best in the industry, all under one roof.
Beyond tattooing, the expo 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.
