Algunos recuerdos y experiencias de estos días y un poco de los trabajos que tuve la oportunidad de hacer 🖋️💎

A veces simplemente se trata de agradecer el camino…

• Los Trofeos por las piezas que llevo en las piernas representan una etapa de la que me siento orgulloso de haber sido parte, obras de Na.rk, agradecido por convertir tanto tiempo y dedicación en el arte que hoy llevo a todos lados

THE RESULTS ARE IN

Best of Show, Nashville 2026:

🏆 Basilio (), Alter Ego Knoxville
🏆 Dustin Kaiser (), Cardinal Ink
🏆 Charles Craig (), Dark Rain Tattoo
🏆 Bianca LaPuma (), Binks Tattoos
🏆 Justin Grant (), Iron Pen

Special shoutout to Basilio, who just took first place in Nashville two years in a row.

Getting that amount of work in, start to finish over 3 days is a monumental feat.
To everyone who submitted, tattooed through the weekend, and put their best work on the table — this is what raises the bar for the whole community.

Congrats to all five. Go give them a follow.

The Villain Arts tour keeps rolling — Colorado Springs is up next. See the full schedule and grab tickets at villainarts.com.

THAT'S A WRAP, NASHVILLE 🖤

What a weekend. To every artist who tattooed until their hands ached, every performer who brought the stage to life, every vendor who showed up big, every crew member behind the scenes, and every collector and fan who walked through the doors — thank you. And to our sponsors who made it all possible — we couldn't do this without you.

Nashville Tattoo Arts Festival, you showed out. Until next time — we'll see you at the next stop 🔥

Nashville, you're not holding back this weekend.

Machines running nonstop. Walk-ins turning into full pieces right before our eyes. And Best of Show? Still up for grabs.

This is what it's all about — real artists, real work, a crowd that showed up ready. If you're not here yet, you're missing it.
