Mike Johnston is an internationally recognized tattoo artist, published photographer, painter, entrepreneur, and family man. He embodies raw creativity in every medium he touches.

Whether he’s wielding a tattoo machine, a paintbrush, or a camera, Mike’s focus is unwavering: producing work that stands as fine art.

With 20 years in the tattoo industry, Mike refuses to limit his creative voice to a single form. His true passion is capturing the beauty—and the chaos—of life through visual art.
