Josef apprenticed under Jake Ross at Everlast Tattoo Co. and has been tattooing professionally for 4 years. For him, tattooing is one of the most personal and meaningful ways to share art, and he takes pride in creating designs that connect deeply with his clients.
His focus is on bold realism combined with illustrative line work, blending powerful imagery with thoughtful detail to create tattoos that feel custom to every person. Inspired by artists like Julian Siebert, Jake Ross, Ed Repka, and Dan Goldsworthy, Josef’s tattoos carry both strength and precision, often designed with careful thought about how they flow on the body.
Josef’s process is thorough and client-focused. He takes time to answer questions, explain the process clearly, and make sure clients feel confident before booking. With photo references and conversations about ideas, he spends the time needed to design tattoos that are unique to each client. During sessions, his goal is for clients to feel comfortable and relaxed, and afterward, to be excited about their new tattoo.
He has participated in conventions such as the Cleveland Tattoo Convention and the Rubber City Tattoo Convention. In 2024, he earned 3rd place Best of Show at the Cleveland Tattoo Convention, a milestone that highlights his growth and artistry.
Outside of tattooing, Josef enjoys playing guitar, listening to music, and exploring new artistic mediums. He books clients through the contact form on his website and welcomes both new and returning clients. As Josef says: “I strive to design tattoos that balance atmosphere, precision, and flow — every piece is meant to feel personal and unique.”
