What: Mumbai Tattoo Expo 2012, Arcade Building, World Trade Center, Cuffe Parade, visit www.tattoo-convention-indianink.com, Rs 200 entry with cover charge.

Why: Forty tattoo artists from around the world, and an estimated 3,000 people who want to get inked – imagine the amount of pain and gain under one roof as the Mumbai Tattoo Expo comes back into town. Needles to say, they’re excited as they return with a whole bunch of non-ink additions like BMX stunt performers, zumba and poi workshops, live music gigs and a not-encouraged-by-bpb mystic bazaar. If you decide to get a tattoo, there’s liquid courage (read cocktails) from Barmobile and sustenance (snacks) by Cool Chef Cafe.

When: Skin show on June 15, 16 and 17 from 11 am to 10 pm.
