PH Bio
Johnny Saccone
Tattoo Artist
I'm a self taught artist from New Jersey. I have always been inspired by street art, Salvador Dali, and the tattoos I have collected. I knew from a young age I wanted to have a career in the art field. I just didn't know which, until got my first tattoo when I was 16. I've had about fifty jobs, but none of them ever being able to hold my attention for more than a few weeks. Tattooing has be the complete opposite, I finally found a job that I love and am passionate about. Everyday I make it my goal to learn something new, to continue to grow as an artist.

Kaitlin Butler
Tattoo Artist
Graduated from the Art Institute of Boston (now known as Lesley University College of Art and Design) with a bachelor's degree in fine arts. In my studies I found tattooing/body modification constantly surfacing as subject matters in my artworks and eventually based my thesis on Renaissance styled, heavily tattooed portraiture. After a short lived career in art galleries, I began apprenticing with Mike at Evolvink. I have been eagerly working towards a career in tattooing that can incorporate my stylistic love for painting, portraiture and realism, and also enjoy doing American traditional and blackwork.
