Josh Lin, a multiple-time winner of international tattoo awards and the first Asian tattoo artist to win an award for realistic tattoos, has brought tattoos into the world of art. Specialising in creating black and grey tattoos in a realistic style, Lin produces tattoos that are not only prized by celebrities such as E.SO, Shawn Yue, ØZI, and Jay Park, but also regarded as a treasure by the fashion world. Many brands have invited him to collaborate.

“In front of art, we are just a dot. Because of our insignificance, we should always be like a blank sheet of paper before creating our art,” he said. In addition to his contributions to the art world, he has used his influence in charity campaigns, utilising his tattoo talent to help breast cancer survivors rebuild their confidence.
