I’m Joey, a professional tattoo artist who’s been working in the tattoo industry since 2009. My work is mainly focused on traditional and geometric tattooing, two styles I’ve always connected with for different reasons.

I love traditional tattooing because it’s direct. Bold lines, strong shapes, solid color, and designs with a history behind them. There’s a lot of freedom in working within those fundamentals and still finding ways to make a piece feel personal and original.

Geometry is a different side of my brain. I’ve always been drawn to symmetry, repetition, balance, and the way simple shapes can turn into something intricate. I actually hated math in school, but I’ve always loved geometry. My background was music, so I think rhythm, structure, and composition naturally found their way into the way I approach tattooing.

For me, good tattooing is about finding that balance between the idea you bring in and what I can add to it as an artist. I want the finished piece to feel considered, built to last, and like it belongs on you.

After all these years, I still think it’s pretty fucking rad that I get to make art for a living. I get to work with people, create something permanent, and keep doing something I genuinely enjoy. That’s something I don’t take lightly.
