In addition to hosting the entire INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival, famed media personality Mistress Juliya has been confirmed as a competition judge.
Whether it be from her multiple music shows on Fuse TV, features in magazines such as Maxim and Stuff, the runway, or hosting live events, Mistress Juliya is recognized around the globe. Mistress Juliya made her broadcast debut on the show Tastemakers on MMUSA, and her brashness made her an instant favorite.
After a year, she moved on to host Uranium, which was one of the few televised outlets for heavy metal music and one of Fuse TV's most popular programs.
Mistress Juliya's popularity led to the debut of a spin-off entitled Metal Asylum which lasted over 100 episodes. Around this same time, she began hosting the music-themed advice show Slave to the Metal.
Within these few short years, she established herself as a fixture of music journalism and in the metal community. Since then she has hosted the shows No 1.

Mistress Juliya said, "It is a great honor to work with INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival this year. This is a one of a kind event, bringing together some of the best bands and tattoo artists in the industry. For myself and for the fans, this is a dream come true - a Rock N' Roll Disney World! All in an iconic, historical abandoned reformatory where I will be interviewing bands and tattoo artists, there is no other festival like it."
