Scope out some hot wheels and even admire people’s ink at the Kyabram Car, Bike and Tattoo Show in November.

Get ready to be surrounded by old and new motor vehicles and perhaps throw your hat into the ring in the tattoo competition.

The event is organised by members of the Kyabram Cross Piston Saloon.

“It's a static display of cars, motorbikes trucks — there is anything and everything,” member Andrew Phillips said.

“People will enter their tattoos into what category they want to be in and someone will judge that category and then a trophy is handed out.”

Andrew has it all — a bike, car and tattoos — and has been helping organise the show for about 10 years.

He likes running the event to support the community.

“We put it on for the community, they enjoy and have a good time,” he said.

“There is money donated to the Kyabram hospital or Kyabram ambulance or there's money to be donated to a charity afterwards.”
