I am all about a positive mindset, as you never know what life is going to throw at you. I have had my own personal setbacks and demons but I have come out a better version of myself, armed with new knowledge and priorities. I am honored to be a part of team @kapableapparel because I know what they stand for and what they have been through. My goal with this health journey is to inspire and create a better understanding of what you can achieve with the right mindset. #iamkapable

Carlton was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He will soon enter surgery and have to take weeks off of work. And as any tattooer knows, this is a big deal and will affect him, and his loved ones, financially. His friend Erin Rust Smith set up a Go Fund Me to help Carlton, his wife Nichole and his two children cope with this burden. Every dollar counts and as Smith has said, “Joshua is well known for being incredibly generous with his time and knowledge, helping thousands of artists over the years. It has always been his goal to leave tattooing better than he found it.”

‘Distressed’ This was an absolute blast to tattoo. I really enjoyed playing with the shadows and textures in this one. #worldfamousink #inkjectanano #dermalizepro #hustlebutterdeluxe #inkedheartstattooexpo

Screen capture of the bird from yesterday. I have been enjoying the use of negative space lately and very minimal white. I like the natural look it’s giving me. #dermalizepro #inkjectanano #worldfamousink #hustlebutterdeluxe

Done using straight black no wash or grey. I like how it looks more like an etching. #worldfamousink #inkjectanano #dermalizepro #hustlebutterdeluxe
