Get ready to twist and shout at the Rockabilly Shakedown!

On Saturday, 29th August (11 am – 6 pm), Black Letter Tattoo Company is turning back the clock. In celebration of the city-wide Gloucester Goes Retro festival, we are throwing the ultimate 1950s-themed party, and you are invited.

Here is what you can expect on the day:
-Vintage Flash: Step back into the 50s at Black Letter Tattoo Company with custom, rockabilly-themed tattoos starting from just £60.
-100% Unique: As always, all of the flash designs will be hand-painted by our team. You won't find these designs anywhere else!
-Retro Vibes: Classic rockabilly tunes spinning all day to keep the energy high.
-Best Dressed: Join us and come dressed in your finest 1950s rockabilly outfits and show off your style!

How to Get Tattooed:
We are open for both bookings and walk-ins, but slots will fill up fast:
-Guaranteed Slots: Secure your time by booking in advance with a deposit. Please get in touch with us as soon as possible to secure your appointment.
-Walk-ins: Available on the day on a first-come, first-served basis. These are not guaranteed, so be prepared for a possible wait.

Sneak Peeks & Previews
Want to see the designs early? Previews of the flash sheets will be posted on our Instagram and Facebook stories a couple of weeks before the event. Give us a follow on both platforms to stay in the loop and claim your favourite design! (or two, or three, or as many as you like).
