MISS RVA PINUP returns to the Main Stage of the Richmond Tattoo & Arts Convention with this year’s theme: Ember Muses.
Inspired by 1920s–30s glamour, and legendary tattoo icon Betty Broadbent, Ember Muses is a world of velvet nights, cabaret girls, tattooed beauties, and unforgettable characters.
Think beaded fringe, satin gloves, lacquered curls, sharp silhouettes, old Hollywood drama, and glamour with an edge. Channel cabaret stars, silver-screen sirens, and the trailblazers of early tattoo culture. Vintage-inspired, classic pinup, and modern interpretations are all welcome. No tattoos are required to compete.
Applications open August 1, 2026. Only 20 spots are available.
