Joshua Wrede

Meet Joshua

Joshua grew up in the 90’s as a rebellious teenager in California. He was drawn into the wild culture of skateboarding and graffiti art. He spent time hanging around the tattoo shop where his Mom worked as a body piercer drawing tattoos for customers that walked in the door. 

In 1997, still not old enough to legally get a tattoo himself, he began his apprenticeship. 

“I was obsessed as soon as I got a taste, it gave me a sense of purpose and a way to channel all that angsty energy.” 

Soon after he dedicated himself completely to the craft of tattooing. And now with almost 3 decades of experience and inspiration from his world travels Joshua is more in love with tattooing than ever.
