INK & IRON – the show where tattooed people, motorcycle and custom car builders are able to display their art to a like-minded audience.
Created by Grant Mc Nicol in 2004 in Johannesburg, the show made its way to Cape Town after numerous requests by the Biking and Tattoo community in 2010. We are about to launch the show in Durban this July after much verbal abuse from their community for not starting in KZN first!
All of this is due to an overwhelming response from petrol-heads and ink lovers countrywide to bring this concept to their part of town.
The Ink & Iron Show started when founder Grant Mc Nicol sold his magazine ‘Biker Lifestyle’ in 2002. However, with Grant’s passion for bikes, tattoo’s and hot-rods and knowing so many people in the industry, it was a natural progression to create a platform for them to have one day of exposure within the biking and tattoo community.
Ink& Iron is also an opportunity for all of you petrol-heads and ink lovers to display and enter your art and mechanical creations to an appreciative audience with the chance of walking away with the coveted Ink & Iron trophies.
With the help of Pommie Steve – Chief Tattoo Judge, “Butch” Powrie (Chosen Few MC Jo’burg) - Head Concourse Judge, Duncan & Dennis (Head Hunters MC Jo’burg), the Ink & Iron runs like a well-oiled machine giving all the opportunity to either enter thier bikes, hot-rods or tattoo’s or get some new ink done. BE THERE to see the great work being produced in
skin and steel at the Ink & Iron Show!!
