IT'S not everybody's cup of tea, but if you're a fan of body art then a trip to Cheltenham racecourse this weekend is a must.
The kings and queens of the tattoo world and thousands of tattoo collectors will be pouring into the venue tomorrow and Sunday for Tattoo Royale.
More than 200 artists will be showing off their artistic skills, as well as trade and market stalls and live entertainment all weekend.
The event starts at 11am on both days for non-stop action, including competitions for the best tattoos, a live tattooing contest, a display of military vehicles, live music, beer tasting and street magician Harry B Magic.
Tickets cost £20 a day and children under 15 are free. They can be bought at the gate or in advance by visiting www.tattooroyale.co.uk
