Talking Tattoo History: Pierced Hearts and True Love

About Talking Tattoo History: Pierced Hearts and True Love

Traditional Tattoo Fans! Come and Enjoy a Night To Celebrate Tattoo History!

“Pierced Hearts & True Love” sees Scottish tattoo historian Terry Manton; Australian industry pioneer Les Bowen, and UK tattoo royalty Lal Hardy come together to share funny and fascinating anecdotes about the world of tattooing, from Greenock’s own Prince Vallar, who set up shop in Scotland in 1905, through to the art-form’s evolution in the mainstream.

This will be a fun, engaging night of tattooing tales tall and true with a sit-down meal, drinks, and exclusive raffle prizes.

The event is 100 percent not-for-profit, so you’ll be supporting the fight against cancer, with profits going to Cancer Research UK.

Come and rub shoulders with well-known tattoo artists and enthusiasts from Scotland and abroad for a memorable evening of talks about tattooing and its origins, as well as its cultural significance to Scotland and the world.

Tickets for the event, which takes place at Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport at 7pm, March 18, are £40 per person, or £280 per table of eight.
