Thanks for registering for GWTS 25. If you have any questions please get in touch.

This form registers you for the event only. From 2025 all artists and piercers WITHOUT a permanent licence from Swindon Borough Council will have to apply for a temporary licence at a cost of £24 via this link

This is the artist responsibility and you will need to forward it to licence@gwts.co.uk and have it available to view when checking in to the event.

Without it you won't be permitted to tattoo at GWTS 25.

A guide to completing the form is here.

We will send out periodic updates with useful information regarding logistics and hotels etc.

Access to the venue is from 12pm Friday and 8am on the Saturday and Sunday.

Each registered tattoo artist gets one extra wristband for the weekend. This can be used for your assistant, client or whoever.

If you want to use it for different people each day you can but the Saturday wristband must be returned and exchanged for a new one.

Any additional guests must purchase an advance or day ticket.

No entry will be permitted without a registration or a wristband.

Only the registered artist will be permitted to tattoo for the weekend.
