Big Ink Bash (2026) is a large-scale tattoo and entertainment festival bringing together 160 tattoo artists and 40 traders from across the industry!
Set within a fully immersive circus-themed environment, the event combines live tattooing with high-energy performances and a true festival atmosphere.
Across the weekend, visitors can experience live music, aerial circus acts, and walkabout entertainment alongside continuous tattooing from some of the industry’s most talented artists.
The event also features live judging and competitions, including Best of Day and Best of Show.
A key highlight is the exclusive Ringside Experience in partnership with Barber DTS, placing selected artists at the centre of the action inside the Big Top ( Yes the booths are in a circle!)
Big Ink Bash blends artistry, performance, and community to create a unique, high-impact event for both artists and the public.
