The Houston Tattoo Arts Festival takes place annually and features a diverse array of activities and attractions for tattoo enthusiasts.
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.
At Villain Arts, we believe tattooing is more than body art—it’s a global language of identity, resilience, and self-expression. For over two decades, our mission has been to elevate tattoo culture, support artists in their craft, and provide unforgettable experiences for attendees.
