Joshua Bighaus

Born in Bend, Oregon, I have traveled the United States from coast to coast by rail, taking in the epic vistas of Americana and incorporating them into my work. Blending elements of the East Coast’s wild style graffiti, the Bay area’s punk rock DIY art aesthetic, and of course the lonesome western plains. I have built my career around a true love of the art, history, and craft of tattooing. Tattooing since 2017, my style is our shop’s mission statement; bright, bold, artistic tattooing.

Joshua loves to tattoo: American Traditional, Japanese Traditional, Script/Lettering, Fine Line Traditional, Custom or Flash

Not what you’re looking for?

Our artists are able to tattoo in many styles and may be willing to take on a tattoo in a style that you don’t see listed as their specialty, it never hurts to ask! Our goal is always to give our clients the best tattoo experience possible from booking to the end result; a piece of art that looks great and lasts a lifetime. If we feel we are unable to take on a tattoo, we are happy to recommend an artist or shop who we feel would be up to the task. We have been getting tattooed in and around the Pacific Northwest for 20+ years and know a lot of great folks!
