Tatt2 Greg Jonesboro, GA

I’m a country-grown artist from a little town called Delmar with an undeniable love for art in all forms! I come across with an intimidating attitude, but that’s my seriousness for my craft and passion. Peace and positive vibes only!

Who/where do you get your inspiration from?

I can actually take it back to elementary school…I get my inspiration from my art teacher Mrs. Hearn. I would always try my best to impress her, along with making sure what I presented was in a position to be better/ more thoughtful than my classmates. To this day, I ensure whatever I do is a perfect representation of me and, without question, a great piece of art. “Art is Everywhere” - Mrs. Hearn

What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo

virgin) Be honest and be prepared! Be honest about how you feel about your upcoming piece, along with answering any questions your artist asks truthfully! A big key to having a great session is prepping yourself prior to your appointment and after. Make sure you have a good night’s sleep - no going out and drinking! Day of, have a good breakfast/ lunch and bring your favorite snacks to your appointment…Don’t open that chip bag forcefully while the tattoo needle is making contact! Lol. No, really. After your successful session, have your Hustle Butter ready that you ordered ahead of time.

What was it that initially sparked your interest in tattooing?

My close friends from Florence, SC, sparked my interest in tattooing. Especially my business partner for years, Demetrius Davis. They had the utmost faith that I could master this art form, knowing I had no background in it. I’m most grateful for the push they gave me to attempt and research tattooing.

What do you think is in store for the future of

tattooing? For the future of tattooing, I have no expectations, nor do I try to think about what may be possible in the coming years. Staying current with the movement is the best outlook, in my opinion. Now, what I think is in store for my future tattooing…that’s a different question!

What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?

Move at your own pace and do what you’re comfortable with! Solidify one area you’re learning before you move to the next. Most importantly, keep your knowledge in health and safety relevant at all times…clients will recall a bad experience health-wise before a linework mistake! ✕
