Meet Josh, your color-obsessed artist.
Josh has been a studio artist since the age of 13, starting off as a gallery artist in western Massachusetts. At 18 he attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn where he majored in illustration. He quickly started working professionally as a tattoo artist after graduation and has never looked back!
Every tattoo is a collaborative journey, where Josh uses his specific background and continued creative obsessions to bring your visions to life. None of this work would exist without the client, it takes two to tango. Thank you everyone who's already been along on this journey and to whoever's wanting to take the first step; there's no time like now!
