TJ RUSSO

TJ is a Rhode Island tattoo artist with over 14 years of experience, specializing in a blend of modern Japanese and Traditional tattoo designs. Working in street shops alongside seasoned artists and expanding his craft further by attending national tattoo conventions, his work — from dragons and koi to florals and mythological motifs — reflects a deep understanding of composition and flow, rendered in bold linework and rich, lasting color.

​

Beyond Japanese work, TJ also enjoys a modern approach to American traditional, fine-line, and black and grey styles, giving him the range to handle large-scale projects like sleeves and back pieces, as well as smaller custom designs.

Clients can choose from TJ's collection of one-off predesigned pieces or work with him on a fully custom tattoo from concept to completion.

TJ is available for walk-ins and appointments Wednesday through Saturday.
