Phnom Penh is gearing up for an electrifying Khmer New Year celebration with the Songkran Big Bike Fest on April 5th. From 10 AM to 9 PM, F3, in the center of the city, will come alive with the roar of engines, the hum of tattoo machines, and the vibrant colors of Cambodian and international art. This festival is not just about motorbikes; it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and community spirit.
One of the highlights of the event is the presence of I Love Tattoos Studio Phnom Penh, a renowned tattoo studio founded by Michele Magni, an Italian artist and entrepreneur who has brought his passion and craftsmanship to Cambodia. Michele is the owner and lead tattoo artist at I Love Tattoo Studio in BKK, Phnom Penh. With a deep passion for the art of tattooing, he brings creativity, precision, and a commitment to quality in every piece he creates. Beyond the studio, Michele also showcases his artistry in the culinary world as a chef at Bellini – Bistrò Italiano, Phnom Penh. Whether on skin or on a plate, his dedication to art is unmistakable. Through ink and skin, Michele has been blending Italian artistry with Cambodian inspiration, making his studio a symbol of cross-cultural artistic exchange. His work reflects the deep connection between Cambodia and Italy, where both nations share a profound appreciation for artistic traditions, storytelling, and self-expression.
Beyond tattoos, the festival will feature an art exhibition and live painting, showcasing talents from Cambodia and beyond. Art has always been a universal language, and this event will be an opportunity to witness how different artistic influences come together to create something truly unique.
For motorbike enthusiasts, the festival offers a stunning motorbike showcase, along with vendors selling accessories and gear. The celebration extends to Khmer traditional games, live DJ sets, a fashion show, and performances by local bands—ensuring an unforgettable experience for all attendees. A special moment will be the Lakhon Khol performance by R.U.F.A, a mesmerizing traditional masked dance that adds a deep cultural essence to the festivities.
The Songkran Big Bike Fest is not just a gathering—it’s a movement that unites communities, fuels creativity, and embraces cultural connections. Whether you’re here to get inked, admire stunning motorbikes, or simply soak in the art and energy, this festival is an unmissable event.
