I highly recommend Joe. I wouldn't let anyone else tattoo me at this point. Not only is he an amazing artist but he's an extremely good tattoo artist... in my experience it barely hurts and it heals quickly and beautifully. Plus he's a genuinely good person. Frankfort is so lucky to have him here. The only downside is the wait is long but really that just speaks to how highly sought after he is. Id give him 10 stars if I could!

I've been going to Joe since 2011. He's done most of my tattoos and I've never been disappointed. Joe is an amazing artist, person and friend, with a big heart who truly cares about what you want and goes above and beyond to make sure you get just that and more.

Joe is an amazing artist and all around great guy to sit and chill with while he's tattooing. He can do everything from black and white traditional tattoo to bright and colorful. If you are ever upset at how far he's booked out just know every tattoo with him is worth the wait!! He is always willing to work with you on designs, colors and offers suggestions on adding to your designs. I'll keep coming back for tattoos as long as he has the tattoo gun :)
