Japanese & American Traditional Tattoo Artist in Dallas, TX
Josh Robinson specializes in Japanese and American Traditional tattoo styles, creating custom designs that tell your story.
Finding the Right Japanese & Traditional Tattoo Artist in Dallas
Choosing a tattoo artist is one of the most important decisions you'll make when getting inked. With over 25 years of experience since 1997, I've dedicated my career to mastering American Traditional and Japanese influenced tattoo styles, working at respected shops throughout Dallas and Houston.
Japanese tattoo art requires a deep understanding of traditional imagery, symbolism, and composition. From koi fish and dragons to cherry blossoms and waves, each element carries specific meaning and must flow naturally with your body's contours. Combined with the bold lines and vibrant colors of American Traditional work, this creates timeless pieces that age beautifully and maintain their impact for decades.
When searching for a Dallas tattoo artist who specializes in these styles, experience matters. I've spent over two decades refining my technique, studying traditional Japanese tattoo history, and perfecting the bold, clean linework that defines quality traditional tattooing. Whether you're looking for a small traditional piece or a large-scale Japanese bodysuit, I work closely with each client to create custom designs that honor these rich artistic traditions while telling your unique story.

“Love this dude. Tattooing is superb, still looks brand new after 12'ish years. Constantly have people tell me the colors are amazing. I'd give him 6 stars if he'd come back to Arkansas more often and work.”
