Fire-breathers, burlesque dancers and the finest tattoo artists in Croydon are to take over Fairfield Halls for a weekend.
The first ever Croydon Tattoo Convention - which also boasts street magic, live music, roller girls and comedy - will take place on June 1 and 2.
The event, organised by tattoo studio owner Richie Bennett and artist Leo Rios, will also feature plenty choice for those wishing to get inked.
Mr Bennett said: "There can sometimes be a bit of animosity between tattoo studios, so we just wanted to get everyone together and make it a good thing for Croydon."
Among the highlights will be 20-strong all-girl ukulele punk band the Pukes and Chi-Chi Revolver, a cabaret and burlesque act with the Guinness World Record for hula hooping.
There is a free after party at late night pub Bad Apple in Park Street on June 1.
Croydon Tattoo Convention, Fairfield Halls, Park Lane, Croydon, 10am to 10.30pm on June 1, 10am to 6pm on June 2. Advance tickets are £15 per day or £25 for the weekend. Visit croydontattooconvention.com.
