Tattoos World Tour was a world tour by R&B and pop singer Jason Derulo. It was his second headlining world tour and his first headlining tour since he broke a vertebra in January 2012 while rehearsing for his Future History World Tour, leading to its cancellation. The tour made stops in most parts of Europe and Australia, with Conor Maynard as his opening act. Due to popular demand after the March 20 and March 22, 2014, shows in England had sold out, two more dates were added to the March show line-up, on March 25 and March 27, 2014, in Newcastle at the O2 Academy auditorium and in Leeds at the Leeds Academy, with another show added during the second leg of the tour in Rabat, Morocco in Africa.
