Villain Arts’ 7th Annual New Orleans Tattoo Arts Festival

Villain Arts’ 7th Annual New Orleans Tattoo Arts Festival comes to Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (Hall J) this fall! October 10th–12th, downtown New Orleans will be buzzing as hundreds of world-class tattooers gather to celebrate body art, performance, and creativity.
The artists in attendance will have options on offer, including flash and custom work. Want to get tattooed at the show? You can reach out to your favorite artist in advance to book an appointment, or just show up and see who’s taking walk-ups! You may even recognize some artists from their time on Ink Master and VH1. Don’t forget the tattoo contests: whether a piece is brand new or years old, attendees can enter to compete for a chance to take home a trophy.
There will also be expert piercers, tooth gem artists, and vendors selling everything from jewelry and clothing to oddities and art pieces. There will also be a full lineup of live entertainment throughout the weekend, including human suspension acts, a contortionist archer, dazzling burlesque sideshow performances, and more. The 7th Annual New Orleans Tattoo Arts Festival promises something for everyone. Don’t miss your chance to be part of one of New Orleans’ most exciting tattoo events!
