Joker’s Tattoo & Piercing Studio has been a trusted name for more than 30 years. Joker (John McManus) grew up surrounded by motorcycles, biker culture, and the brotherhood that comes with it. His father, Johnny McManus, was one of the founders of the Brotherhood of Bikers in Mexia, Texas, and later went on to establish the N.E.W.S. MC.

With roots that deep, it’s no surprise that Joker has lived and breathed the biker lifestyle his entire life. Growing up in the late ’70s and early ’80s, he witnessed the golden era of biker rallies — the camaraderie, the grit, and the raw authenticity that defined the culture.

As newer generations of riders emerged, Joker noticed something missing. Many had only heard stories from the old-school bikers, never getting to experience what true brotherhood and the real biker way of life felt like. So he set out to bring it back.

That vision sparked the idea: create an old-school biker rally that captures the spirit of the past and reminds everyone what the lifestyle is truly about. A place where riders can reconnect, swap stories, and experience the kind of rally the legends used to talk about.

And it all comes from the home of two-time Guinness World Records holder, Joker’s Tattoo Studio — where history, skill, and biker heritage live on.
