A TATTOO convention in Newport next weekend will also have designs on raising money for the city's only in-patient hospice.

Forty UK and international tattooists are due to attend the event at Newport Centre on Sunday and Monday.

As well as trade stalls, there will also be live entertainment from Chinese lion dancers, graffitti sprayers, live bands and much more.

On Bank Holiday Monday at 7pm there will be an auction for a Grand Slam rugby shirt signed by this year's victorious team in aid of St Anne's Hospice.

For over 18s only, Newport's 3rd tattoo convention will be open from 12 noon to 11pm.
