When 280 of the best tattoo artists from 30 states and 25 countries come together in June aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, for the 11th annual Ink-N-Iron Festival, they'll be joined by the legend himself, Merle Haggard, as he performs during the first night's concert.

From June 6 through June 8, it will be all about tattoos, hot rods, burlesque, art shows, 50’s fashion and fun on the iconic floating hotel. Three day passes start at $80 and go up to $130.
