It's an Metal 'N Ink Extravaganza!! This years' show is bigger and better than last years' show by miles!
The goal of the show is to get fans of both tattoos and custom vehicles together to share their passions with eachother and the visitors at the show. In doing so, we aim to bring these enthusiasts together with local businesses to foster growth and help bring together fans, businesses and artists.
Not just a show for ink, bike and custom car or truck owners, we have events for the whole family including on-site tattooing, food/beverage vendors, live music as well as kids activities.
