A new chapter in my career — my first time judging at the 16th Annual Villain Arts Milwaukee Tattoo Arts Festival 🖤 Milwaukee Tattoo Arts Festival Villain Arts Tattoo Festivals
Being invited to sit at the judges’ table at an event of this scale was both an incredible honor and a huge responsibility! With 400+ tattoo artists, some of the strongest talent in the industry, international guests, live tattooing, competitions, and an incredible entertainment lineup, Villain Arts continues to create something truly special for the tattoo community
Judging was honestly more intense than I expected — by the end, my brain felt completely fried because I wanted to make sure every decision we made was fair and that the strongest work was properly recognized!!
Villain Arts has been shaping tattoo culture since 1999, now hosting more than 30 conventions a year across 21 states, and being trusted to contribute to that legacy as a judge means a lot to me🙏🏻
Huge thank you to Villain Arts for the opportunity, the trust, and for continuing to bring together some of the best artists and biggest tattoo events in the country🖤
