Today I’m excited to announce some massive that I will be involved with this weekend! If you follow the Marry Me Ink Facebook page and Twitter page, you’ll already know this. 

I am SUPER excited to announce that I am officially an Award Sponsor for this year’s Manchester International Tattoo Show taking place Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of August at Manchester Central (For other Mancunians.. It’s also known as the GMex)

The Manchester Tattoo Show (which is already firmly established as one of the UK’s most popular conventions) returns to Manchester Central this summer and is bigger than ever.

For the past ten years, the Manchester Tattoo Show has been one of the leading conventions on the UK tattoo scene. The event attracts tattoo artists of the highest calibre to the city for a weekend of fantastic ink and great entertainment.

With over 5,000sqm of the Manchester Central being used, the event welcomes world-class artists, live acts and entertainment and traders and vendors for visitors to enjoy.

This growth comes following a growth in demand and investment from Jazz Events, which already runs three leading UK tattoo conventions and acquired the Manchester Tattoo Show in 2012. Shelley Bond, event manager commented: We’re excited to be enhancing this already popular show, giving ticket holders a better than ever chance of getting inked by one of the world’s leading tattoo artists. This year we have ‘Circus’ theme with related acts and performances taking place all weekend; there will be a lot going on and something for everyone.”

If you haven’t already seen it, then you’re going to be ridiculously excited! Pinterest is just a online scrapbook or notice/pinboard and it’s SO GOOD!

2013-05-15_0002This is what my Pinterest looks like. It’s full of the stuff I love such as owls, cakes, home decor and most importantly, tattooed weddings.

With Pinterest, it’s SO easy to add stuff to your boards when you’re out and about with the app, or if you’re at your desk or laptop, you can easily add the “Pin It” button to your Bookmarks.

The show will appeal not only to brides out there looking for something really different, but to quirky couples who want to dress up, have a cocktail or two, listen to local bands, dance or chill out, whilst surrounded by the weirdest and most wonderful wedding suppliers on one floor, making it a great night out.  You can enjoy a fashion show under the stars in the Planetarium, watch jugglers, close-up magicians and living statues and, when your man gets tired, send him off to the ‘man crèche  to play on all the interactive science museum exhibits (and, of course, you can have a play too!).
