Josh enjoys tattooing from all different aspects. He likes to tattoo Traditional Japanese, Polynesian, American Traditional, & Black and Gray. He got into tattooing because he was very amused by the beautiful artwork that can be designed on every skin and it is a piece of artwork that his clients can keep forever. For him, to create a tattoo is a great honor. Josh lives by the quote: I do every tattoo like it’s my last. It was once said to him by an artist that he admires when he first got into this industry, and he takes this line with him every day of his life.

For the first time in history we are changing our hours and adding closed days. After dealing with the recent forced closures we are changing our hours and no longer open 7 days a week. This will also help us spend more time with one another and our families as with the historic schedule everyone rotated. We are hoping this serves in everyone’s convenience as clients with preferred artists will no longer have to call ahead to see if that person is there that day. Everyone sho...uld be there during the opening hours unless a personal matter arises and they are unable to do so. We are grateful to all of our clients and friends for helping to keep us open. We know thousands of businesses were forced to forever close not being able to weather the long closures. Now open we have seen a huge influx of support from the community but it will take years to recover, if we ever do, so until then we will not be able to afford the staff (as many artists abandoned the state to continue to work in states that did not shut down the economy) or the costs of being open 7 days. We hope this is of little to no inconvenience to all of you. Please be patient while we are recovering. Many people are wanting to get in and we have 7 months of catching up to do. Thank you all for understanding. Be safe, we are looking forward to seeing all of our friends and clients again. Our hearts forever go out to the people that were affected by the virus. - Emerald Tattoo Crew

TATTOO TIP #6: PLACEMENT. You finally finalized the design... congrats! Now it's time for another hurdle, the placement. This tip is especially for the first-timers. Where you place your tattoo is an important decision. You may not want to choose a huge or extremely visible tattoo for your first time- this is a rather huge commitment. It is advisable to go small for your first one to test out the waters when it comes to getting tattooed. Sure, there are some places in your body that are deemed as 'painful' but don't necessarily apply to you. This all comes down to an individual's pain tolerance. It's better to be aware of your body's painful points to make the whole process easier, but fear not our artist will do their utmost best to ensure you get through this process as easy as possible.

No truer words have been spoken.... you can't just have one! Are you ready for your next tattoo or piercing? Because we sure are! Send us a message on our shop phone or social media handles for more information regarding your appointment.-SAM
