Artist Profile: Josh Rowan

It is one of the most rewarding feelings when people start coming to you for designs that are done by you. You feel like you've touched their lives and get to be carried around with them forever. It is a huge feeling. Recently Eric Iovino and I had the chance to walk through Greenwich Village in New York City and we passed several tattoos shops that had flash sheets drawn by either him or myself hanging on the walls. I've had the chance to see this all over the country now and am filled with enormous gratitude. I like seeing other people's interpretation and variations on the pieces also. Every tattoo artist's work is a bit different from the next, kind of like a signature. I like that.
