Special Features

Tattoo Heritage Project

Traveling Tattoo Museum Showcase

Rolling into Villain Arts festivals across the country, the Tattoo Heritage Project and its Traveling Tattoo Museum bring decades of tattoo history, artistry, and living legends under one roof. More than a display — it’s a hands-on experience.

Explore original flash, vintage machines, rare memorabilia, and meet the artists carrying tattoo culture forward while honoring the roots of the craft. From Polynesian tatau to classic Americana, this is tattoo history — alive, loud, and on the road.

Featuring:

🎯 Classic tattoo games like the Bert Grimm Ring Toss & GTC Shooting Gallery
🎨 Original flash, signed prints, machines & exclusive merch
💀 Support tattoo preservation and be part of living history
⭐ Something for everyone

This is where the past and present of tattooing collide.

Marbling Seminar

Sernakkab Makbling and Abstract Tattoo Design Workshop

Abstract tattoo artist Nakkab (IG @nakkabdoesit) is hosting a hands-on marbling seminar — pulling a centuries-old technique into a modern tattoo-art context. Flowing color, instant results, and visuals you’ll want to take home and post.

Nakkab brings 10 years of experience and an international résumé, with workshops hosted across the world.

Attendees can create their own marbled artwork in just minutes — bold patterns, no mess, no waiting, making them a legit keepsake from the weekend.
