Austin Johns

Most of my ink I got while going through a divorce and going through a lot of personal growth. A product of dark times and good times alike.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My pug (mama Ghibli) and my chihuahua (papa Beelzebub) had puppies last year and the baby girl we were going to keep and had named Ponyo died from pneumonia a few days later. Her name was inspired by the Studio Ghibli movie Ponyo, so we commissioned a local artist to draw and tattoo a cartoon version of our pup swimming with Ponyo. She lives on through her brother Calcifer 🔥

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I think it would tell you the things I’m not able to articulate very well, about who I am and how I’ve chosen to respond to what I face in life. I think one or two of them would say something like “hehe, get it?”

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to dive deeper into music production and mixing/DJing but equipment/software isn’t cheap! This money would really help me improve on my craft and be able to market myself.
