Behind The Artist

Behind The Artist

Hello, I'm Johnny, a 30-year-old tattoo artist and proud father of three living in Columbus, Ohio, with my wonderful wife and our lovable dog, Pickles, who we adopted from the shelter. As an Army veteran, I honorably served three years of active duty as an airborne infantryman, but my true passion has always been art.

Growing up, I was fascinated by art and began exploring my creativity as a teenager. However, I was hesitant to pursue tattooing as a career, fearing the potential consequences. After leaving the Army in 2017, I felt lost and tried various jobs in different states, but nothing seemed to fill the void.

Two years later, I rediscovered my love for drawing and decided to take the leap and pursue tattooing. I sought out an apprenticeship and when I held a tattoo machine for the first time, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and purpose. I had finally found my calling.

Now, I'm dedicated to growing and learning in this industry, constantly pushing myself to improve and expand my skills. I'm grateful for the support of my loved ones, mentors, and clients who have joined me on this journey. My goal is to give back to the tattoo community and make a positive impact on the lives of those around me.
