# Stockport Tattoo Convention
Mancunia Tattoo Convention (MTC), formerly known as Stockport Tattoo Convention, is an independently organised tattoo and alternative arts event designed to bring together artists, traders, musicians and enthusiasts in a welcoming, inclusive environment. Founded in 2021 by a studio frustrated with the exclusivity of mainstream conventions, MTC prioritises genuine connections over industry cliques.
The convention serves tattoo artists, alternative market vendors, musicians and the wider tattoo community across the North West. Their target audience includes both seasoned collectors seeking quality portfolio work and newcomers exploring the tattoo scene without feeling intimidated.
What sets MTC apart is their deliberate focus on accessibility and authentic community building. Rather than elevating an insider circle, they've created a level playing field where all artists and traders receive equal opportunity and recognition. Reviews consistently highlight the well-organised layout, diverse artist styles, welcoming atmosphere and lack of pretension—qualities noticeably absent from larger, more hierarchical conventions.
The event also distinguishes itself by integrating an alternative market alongside the tattoo convention, offering visitors a richer cultural experience. Customer testimonials praise their exceptional service, from responsive ticket sales to quality merchandise and professional organisation. With consistently positive feedback about atmosphere, navigation and inclusivity, MTC has successfully established itself as a genuine alternative to traditional conventions, prioritising community over ego.
