Back in March I went to the Manchester Tattoo Tea Party with my dad. It was my first tattoo convention & I loved it!
I have always loved tattoos from a young age & I got my first one at the age of 20 which was actually a birthday present from my mam & dad. The tattoo I got was a swallow on my lower back to represent loyalty & always returning home to my family. I got my tattoo done at The Middleton Tattoo Studio in Middleton, Manchester by Louis Molloy.
Here's the link for the tattoo studio
Very since getting my first tattoo I have wanting another! I plan on booking this soon but first gathering lots of ideas & making sure it is unique & meaningful to me.
My dad is also a lover of tattoos & got his first with me also a tattoo to signify loyalty, family & returning home.
So the Manchester Tattoo Tea Party was brilliant & fun! We had a great day exploring new tattoo ideas, stalls, vendors, meeting new people & getting a little tipsy. As I go to university in Stoke-on-Trent it was a good opportunity for me & my dad to meet up & spend the day together. We both arrived at Manchester via train & went from there :')
During the convention we noticed quite a few 'lost looking' older people who appeared to be staring at everyone with tattoos. Later on as I was walking towards the toilets I noticed there was another convention in the hall opposite which couldn't have been anymore of a contrast! It was a convention for 'trains' & toy train collectors.
No lie but everyone in there looked like 'Roy Cropper' from corrie!
Once I had been to the toilet I was walking back having a little giggle to myself about it & when I got back to my dad who was stood waiting for me he told me that one of the 'Roy Croppers' had been talking to him. They had said to my dad not noticing he had a tattoo himself ''what is going on in here? It looks terrible!'' So my dad informed them that it was a tattoo convention & there were plenty of tattooists about so they should go & get a tattoo! They didn't seem impressed & simply walked away!
Just goes to show that some people can be very narrow minded.
I plan on attending the next Tattoo Tea Party as it was such a good day :') I would highly recommend attending if you are interested in tattoos & enjoy a fun day out!
