Josh Weir, Tattoo Artist

01: josh weir, tattoo artist

This is a day in the life of Josh Weir, tattoo artist for River City Tattoo in Austin, Texas. Josh, age twenty-two, has been tattooing for two years and has two years of college experience studying fine arts which he left to pursue his passion. He was trained by a traditional and experienced tattoo artist that has left Josh many of his techniques that have been perfected over the years. He also left Josh with the importance of making each job a truly custom experience for that specific customer. Thus Josh has even gone to the extent of custom mixing his colors from only the three primary colors for each job. Overall, it was a treat to see such refined artistic talent at such a young age go about his work.
