Tattoo by The Outsiders Project

Re-launch of our sell out 2021 show Tat­too’ includ­ing some old favourites and brand new unheard stories.

We are the originals. The outsiders. We scar our bodies to never forget.

Every tattoo has a story and these have never been heard before.

With stories from prison, the depths of addiction and recovery rooms – we tell the stories buried under ink and time. They’re raw, exquisite, fearless, and uncensored. Every word is written and performed by our outstanding outsider artists.

The Outsiders performances at the Kneehigh Asylum were the best things I’ve seen and heard for a decade. It has changed the way I think about the stories we tell. And that goes for every single person in the audience. –Anna-Maria Murphy, Kneehigh Theatre
