Villain Arts Tattoo Festival

Admission is free for children under 12

Founded in 1999 by Troy Timpel, Villain Arts has grown from a single tattoo convention in Philadelphia into the largest tattoo festival organizer in the world. Today, we host more than 30 shows across the United States each year, creating spaces where world-class artists, collectors, and fans come together to celebrate the art of tattooing.

Our festivals bring hundreds of tattoo artists under one roof, ranging from international icons to rising local talent.

Visitors not only get the chance to be tattooed by some of the best in the industry but also experience live entertainment, art exhibitions, and a marketplace filled with unique vendors.

Each event is designed to showcase the diversity of tattoo culture while honoring its traditions and pushing creative boundaries forward.
