Steve Nicholls, his daughter Tannika, and Ian of Reading work out of No limits tattoo studio on Oxford road in Reading, The studio is where all the magic happens for Reading tattoo show. Steve and Tannika decided to put on the show after attending a couple of ‘Not so great’ conventions, They are a great partnership, and have brought something fresh and new to the convention scene. The annual Reading Tattoo Show is now into its third year, And after having the great feedback and reviews that the organisers got, they have decided to put on the show for a whole weekend in 2012. Reading tattoo show 2012 will see the same great family-based atmosphere, and promises to have something for everyone. Children are more than welcome at the show, And there will be plenty of things to keep them happy, If the free goodie bag on entry doesn’t do it, then I am sure that the free face painting or the fun fair will. We will have the favourite acts back from the 2011 show, such as the Stilt walkers, fire eaters, pole dancers (Sorry Gents, All clean!), jugglers, Snakes and much, much more, including a great band on Saturday night (Who will be revealed nearer the time.) Overall, the entire weekend looks to be promising, and you can even have lunch by the river if weather permits!
Parents were able to proudly display their artwork whilst looking
at portfolios and keeping their children entertained.
‘The event itself had a feeling of intimacy that other conventions lack, and it
had a family-friendly atmosphere, this is a refreshing change to the hustle-and-bustle
that we have come to expect from conventions and could be the key to the future success
of the Reading convention, Regardless of the laid back atmosphere, the event certainly
wasn’t lacking in visitors.’
We will be having another raffle this year, The winners were over the moon with their prizes last year, ranging from bottles of wine, to children’s toys, to 40” Tv’s and Sat Nav’s!
