Five Awards in Philadelphia
At the 2026 Villain Arts Tattoo Festival in Philadelphia, I worked alongside Luna Tattoo on a large-scale color collaboration covering the leg.
The finished piece received five second-place awards across sleeve, color realism, large color, Tattoo of the Day and Best of Show categories.
A Full-Leg Color Collaboration
The composition brings several characters together across the leg, including the Joker and Pennywise, connected through playing cards, flowing lines and strong areas of color.
Because of the scale of the piece, every section had to work both individually and as part of the complete composition. The photographs below show the different faces, transitions and details that connect the design from the upper leg to the ankle.

- Tattoo of the Day Color — Sunday

Being recognized across several categories made Philadelphia an important convention in my competitive journey.
