🏆Congratulations to of
Taking home ARTIST OF SHOW
at Hels Füry tattoo fest 2026 in Fargo, North Dakota!
The judges saw a variety of Mitch's work this weekend: both fresh and healed, in a wide range of styles. Every piece that crossed our stage was reliably excellent in saturation, composition, and linework, even on very challenging areas of the body to tattoo. Most of the tattoos he entered placed in it's category, beating out some very fierce competition.
Every year we hand select over a hundred of the best tattooers from around the world to join us in Fargo to showcase and share their skills. The award of "Artist in Show" is given to the artist who embodies the excellence and consistency that all tattooists appreciate and aspire to. Mitch manages to bring these traits to our community with both grace and humility. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to the craft, and can't wait to see what you bring to us next year!
