I started tattooing in 1997 in West Palm Beach, Florida. I worked for a shop in South Florida then returned to Delaware to continue my career. My specialties are realism and New School Art. My favorite machines are Mickey Sharpz and custom builds. Conventions are a huge part of my career, I love to travel. Meeting people in the field that inspire you is the best part of my job. My favorite artists are M.C. Escher, H.R. Giger, Salvador Dali, Joe Capobianco, Mike DeVries, Nick Baxter, Bob Tyrell, Guy Atchison, and Josh Woods. My musical interests are very broad, i like everything from Beethoven and Flogging Molly to Flatts & Scruggs and Hatebreed. I have an American Psycho fettish for pens. I whistle "What If God Was One Of Us" all the time and I like to stunt ride motorcycles. I also love to play the strings (guitar, bass, piano, violin & banjo) like I said... "the strings".
I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter that teaches me patience and an awesome wife that keeps me alive everyday. |

My name is Jay. I have been tattooing professionally for approximately 4 and a half years and love every min. of it. I come from a strong graffiti background so that influences my tattoo work a great deal. I love doing big colorful tattoos but am down to do anything. I’m pretty sure that I have OCD toward sterilization and take extra steps to provide the most sterile environment that I possibly can.
I am not Buddhist but Buddha is the shit and love every form, jus thought that I should let everyone know that. As far as hobbies go I enjoy eating crabs (not pubic you sickkos haha), graffiti, skateboarding, hip hop, and building stuff. I get a lot of influence for my work though everyday life, just livin and learning. I try to live life to the extreme and try to do everything I want. I love adrenalin, everything about it. I love jus chillin with my friends and family. To learn more about me and my work visit my personal site jctattoos.com |

Guy is 35 years old. He has been drawing and creating art since he can remember. He excelled in art through high school and was driven to get an art degree despite lack of finances and growing up in a single parent home.
With perseverance, a lot of “odd” jobs and a little more than the typical time frame, he graduated with an AA degree in Visual Communications from the Art Institute of Philadelphia.
Shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown area in Harford County and pursued a career in tattooing as he felt confined in the corporate world of the graphic design business. He has been tattooing in Maryland for over 13 years.
He specializes in free hand application of custom art work, including portraits, Celtic, Asian influenced and bio-mechanical art. He resides in the Baltimore area and spends his free time painting in his studio. Commissioned art work is available upon request. |

Now back in Maryland, working again at Flesh Tattoo, Joshua learned to tattoo from Landon Lewis at Black Thorn Gallery in Mechanicsburg PA. After years of tattooing he started developing his own style, ranging anywhere in between traditional, realism and mixing different styles together to create his own unique tattoos.
Joshua does a lot of traveling, doing guest spots and conventions around the states, and plans to do conventions over seas in the near future. |
