J

Inky J is a Portland-based tattoo artist specializing in fine line and blackwork. His work focuses on clean, intentional linework and designs that feel balanced, readable, and built to last. He enjoys creating everything from minimalist pieces to cute animals, slightly offbeat concepts, and designs that land right in that sweet spot between original and memorable.

Known for a laid-back, nerdy personality, Inky J keeps the tattoo experience comfortable and low-pressure. He works collaboratively with clients—whether they come in with a fully formed idea or just a rough concept—to create something that feels right and looks solid long-term. His goal is always the same: make good tattoos and make the process enjoyable while doing it.
