Johnny Smith just returned back home from the Oregon Tattoo Convention with a shiny first place trophy for best realistic tattoo! Originally from Oregon, Johnny often heads back that way for conventions, painting workshops, seminars, and to catch up with friends. You can check out his award-winning perfume bottle tattoo below, which features some of Johnny’s signature realist moves such as minimal line work, soft and smooth color blends, bright color highlights, and a realistic manipulation of light and shadow as they fall across the forms.

Johnny is currently accepting appointments for custom work at Lightwave Tattoos Tuesdays through Sundays. To book your time today, give us a call at 781.233.1780.
