Josh Espenschied

Traditional, fine line, and whatever walks in

Josh tattoos American traditional the way it was meant to be done — bold outline, solid color, black that reads from across the room. Chiefs, ladyheads, pin-ups and everything in that lineage.

He works fine line too, and he's the easiest chair in the shop to walk into. A lot of what's in his book started as somebody coming through the door that morning with an idea — small or large, color or black and grey.
