About Joshua Hibbard

Tattoos That Transform You

My 20+ year journey in the tattoo world, including my time on Ink Master, has helped me master a huge range of styles. Today, I like creating tattoos that blend realism, surrealism, and other techniques into masterpieces that resemble digital paintings. I’m out to craft tattoos that defy expectations.

Tattoo Work

A tattoo should be more than just a beautiful design—it should interact with the body’s natural contours seamlessly. I like to make big pieces that wrap the body, show something new from every angle, and can’t be captured in a single photo. While I am committed to the unique story, vision, and motivation for your tattoo, you can trust that as an artist, my main focus is to create something that looks beautiful on your unique body.

In The Media

People often ask about my time on the hit reality competition TV show Ink Master, where I appeared in seasons 3 and 5. Despite the intense pressure, I focused on creating tattoo designs with depth, creativity, and a strong understanding of the body as a canvas. My work earned consistent praise from judges and viewers, and the experience pushed me to grow tremendously as an artist. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and for the incredible clients and connections it brought into my life.

Studio

Experience a tattoo process like no other. I aim for transcendent, boundary-pushing art, every time. That consistent creativity requires cultivating the right physical and mental space. My private studio and process are crafted to achieve this. You’ll find the space welcoming, inspiring, and comfortable.

Client Reviews

In the world of tattooing, trust is paramount. When you sit in my chair, you’re not just getting a tattoo; you’re establishing a lifelong connection that should be built on mutual respect and understanding. I’ve always believed that if I genuinely care for the person in front of me and strive to earn their trust, the outcome will be more than just a piece of art—it becomes infused with the creative alchemy of the shared tattoo journey.
