International Pole Performer Showcase

This year we have started what undoubtedly will become one of the most anticipated portions of the weekend. The IPPS will feature title holding pole athletes from Sweden-Argentina-Australia-Russia and the U.S. Each artistic performer will demonstrate their athletic skill on their vertical canvas, the pole. The poles will reach a dizzying height of 15' in the Sin Alley Ballroom 4 times throughout the weekend. Each of the 8 performers has been selected to demonstrate a different presence; to allure and entertain you.

The Leg Show-"Carnal Cabaret"
Produced by Leila Bazzani and Trace Edwards

Ladies and Gentleman, Step right up!
Into the Carnival World of the Bump and Grind!
We've got girls, girls, girls from around the World and across the Nation, imported directly here for you!

From the Exotic Orient to the Red Light District, from port towns too far off palaces, we've got ladies for the ladies and ladies for the gents, they'll make the old go young, and the young go bold.

That's not all folks!
We've got magic and comedy, snakes and swords, and clowns on bikes; from high wire heights...Come see them shimmy, come see them shake, all behind the velvet and don't be late, so if you already know, then we're ready to go!
And we'll see you at the Carnival--Cabaret show!

The Ink-N-Iron Car Show is the best car show of its type in So Cal. Cars are strictly hand picked and must be pre-63, and have to be in a style from that era. Please check out the photos in the Gallery. The last Ink-N-Iron had over 200 selected cars in the show with 18,000 attending to view the car show.

Pin-Up Pageant
Sponsored by Stop Staring! Clothing

This has become one of the most anticipated Pin-Up Pageants and events at the Ink-N-Iron Festival. Between January and March hopeful participants submit their photos and information onto the Ink-N-Iron website. Then during the months of March-May the public votes for who they would like to see compete live at Ink-N-Iron. The top 12 get to compete in a live finale at Ink-N-Iron with the audience and a panel of industry judges deciding on the winner.

Prizes include Cash, gift vouchers, and merchandise from festival vendors. The 12 finalist then become the Ink-N-Iron Calendar Girls.

Tattoo Contest

Every year we are amazed as to the quality of tattoos contestants enter in the tattoo contests. Contestants pay $10 to enter a specific category (ie. Best Black & Grey) and the chance to win a trophy for themselves and their artist. Our panel of industry leaders is left to the responsibility of judging each tattoo using multiple criteria. The awards are imported from Italy utilizing antique silver sacred hearts framed under glass some as old as 100yrs. We do award second place for each category with a ribbon.
