Hey Everybody,

I’m Joe Swanson and have been a professional tattoo artist for going on 13 years.  I founded www.ThisIsTattoo.com to create an environment for both tattoo enthusiasts and tattoo professionals to share information between each other, and to spotlight some of the best artist in the industry. I started tattooing in 1997 in Monterey, CA at Gold Coast Tattoo under Steve Hendricks. I started www.ThisIsTattoo.com in 2008 to help create an ethical open forum and community for professional tattoo artist to gain and share information, and for the tattoo enthusiasts to have a welcoming place to access quality up to date multi-media information about the tattoo industry. With regard to tattooing and art I strive to learn something new everyday to improve my skill. In my business projects, specifically this website, I make every effort to promote the ethics and morals Steve Hendricks taught me just over 12 years ago, and continue to see in many of the tattoo artist I have contact with today. To contact me, please email joeswanson@thisistattoo.com
