The 5th Brighton Tattoo Convention is being held this weekend. As part of the convention they are awarding prizes for excellent tattoo work done over the last year. And what prizes!

Eaton Nott, a Brighton design boutique specialising in the bizarre, were commissioned to create a series of unusual awards. They did a marvellous job and the awards are both grotesque and beautiful. Click through to their Facebook gallery to see all of the designs.

This month, London plays host to the 4th International Tattoo Convention. Taking place on the 26th of September for 3 days, the convention will be held at Tobaco Dock and will be presented by Tattoo Life.  

Last year saw 20,000 visitors show up to the event and this year looks set to beat that number! This years change of location means that the event will be held in the Tabaco dock, a stunning Victorian venue near Tower Bridge, and the line-up looks to be bigger and even more exciting that before.

The line-up for entertainment includes new French tattoo innovator Dimitri Tatouages; as well as the sold out book exhibition of Flash: The Art Of The Mark; and the vixen that is Betty Lipstick and her new Tattoo Energy Calendar for 2009! Other artists include French emos, the Suicide Girls; Lucky Diamond Rich (the world’s most tattooed person); and Art Exhibition by Jesse Lee.
