Joy started tattooing in 2001 in the tiny, but great state of Rhode Island. Since then, she's tattooed across the US and Europe at conventions, as a guest artist, a resident artist, and that one time as part of a museum exhibition.
Joy owned/operated Twelve 28 Tattoo, co-owned Trinity Tattoo Collective, and has had private studios in New York and California. She loves to do a floral piece, but can get down with an emu in a tutu tattoo, as well.
She enjoys hanging out with people, but also really enjoys being alone. You can usually find her singing too loudly in her car, trying to befriend squirrels, drinking too much coffee, and daydreaming about kaiju.
