Today we’d like to introduce you to Javonta Johnson
Hi Javonta, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Meet Javonta Johnson: A Journey of Resilience and Passion
My name is Javonta Johnson, and I’m a 25-year-old tattoo artist with over four years of experience bringing art to life through ink. My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth every step. I started my career as an electrician, a path that taught me discipline and hard work, but deep down, I knew my true passion lay elsewhere. Life threw its share of challenges my way, but I refused to give up.
As a single father to a beautiful 4-year-old daughter, I’m determined to give her the best life possible and set her up for her own incredible journey. For three years, I worked tirelessly from home, perfecting my craft and building my skills, even while struggling to stay afloat. Those tough times shaped me, reminding me to stay humble and focused.
Eventually, I earned a spot in a tattoo shop—a major milestone in my career. Since then, I’ve been dedicated to evolving as an artist, with the dream of becoming a traveling tattoo artist and a recognized name in the industry. I’ve started attending tattoo conventions in different cities, seizing every opportunity to network, learn, and grow.
While my schedule isn’t fully booked yet, I embrace each day with positivity and a hunger to learn. I know there’s still so much to master, but every tattoo I create brings me closer to my goals. My vision is clear: to build a legacy, make my daughter proud, and leave my mark—literally and figuratively—on the world.
No matter the ups and downs, I’ve stayed committed to my journey. I’m driven by the belief that hard work, resilience, and a positive mindset can turn dreams into reality. This is just the beginning of my story, and I’m excited for what’s to come.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Starting out, I worked from home for three years, struggling to build my skills and clientele without the exposure of being in a shop. Financial hardships, long hours, and moments of self-doubt were constant challenges. Balancing my passion for tattooing with being a father to my 4-year-old daughter added extra pressure, but also gave me the motivation to keep pushing forward. Even after getting into a shop, building a steady client base and perfecting my craft has been an uphill climb. Despite the struggles, I’ve stayed focused and positive, knowing that every step brings me closer to my goals.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in Realistic Black and Grey tattooing, which allows me to bring intricate details and depth to my work. I’m incredibly proud to be both a father and a tattoo artist—two roles that mean everything to me. The tattoo industry is my passion; it’s a place where creativity and connection come together, and I love being part of that energy.
What sets me apart is my unique style of work and my humble approach to life. I stay grounded and focused, always striving to improve my craft while supporting those around me. I genuinely want to see everyone I meet succeed, and I believe that positivity and humility are key to building strong connections and leaving a lasting impact through my art.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
What really played a big part in my journey was my determination to never give up and staying positive. I had a mentor for just two days who helped me correct mistakes early on, and over the years, I picked up tips from different artists. Starting out, I had little support, but I’m incredibly thankful for my clients—they’ve been instrumental in helping me grow and get to where I am today.
