The decision to launch Artistic Tattoo Supply Inc. came about as I am now a veteran in the field with decades of experience across the East Coast — with my own parlor, F.I.N.A.O. Ink Tattoo Company in Providence, Rhode Island open for over 12 years.

I wanted to start my own brand and more deeply as a Black business owner, my mission is to develop a meaningful contribution to the Tattoo community by creating a more equitable work environment and professional supplies infrastructure. As a Tattoo Artist myself, I feel I could create changes to the industry that only one who came from within could have the awareness of… So, step by step, I pieced together a product supply chain that aims to create a better ‘working’ experience for the Tattoo Artist — which in turn produces conditions for the most optimal creative outcome of visual artistry and in the end— experience for the client. At Artistic Tattoo Supply Inc., we’ll always be learning, growing and striving to push the medium beyond its ever-expanding growth edge.

MUCH LOVE //// JOE
