Ink and Engines Fest (2026)

Ink and Engines Fest 2026 is a three-day event combining tattoo art and automotive culture. It takes place from August 14 to August 16 at a major exhibition center in the UK, likely in a city like Birmingham or London which have strong custom car and tattoo scenes. Attendees can expect a large floor with tattoo artists from across Europe applying tattoos. There are tattoo competitions with categories like best of day and best automotive-themed piece. The event also features displays of custom cars, motorcycles, and hot rods. Vendor booths sell tattoo aftercare, apparel, and automotive parts. Some conventions include seminars on tattoo techniques or pin-striping. The UK has a long history with both tattooing and custom car culture, making this a natural combination. Tickets are sold online in advance and at the door. Multi-day passes are usually available. Bring a valid ID for age verification. Cash is recommended for tattoos and vendors, though some artists may accept digital payments. Parking is available on site for a fee. The venue is accessible by public transport.
