Styles Joe Loves
These are the styles he’s most at home with - classic imagery, confident linework, and designs rooted in tattoo tradition. Joe’s portfolio is full of classic flash, custom Traditional pieces, Japanese motifs, and bold color work.
He’s done everything from small walk‑in tattoos to large, multi‑session projects with heavy linework and strong compositions. If you’ve saved your back for a full back piece, he’d love to help bring your idea to life.
