Tattooed by Joshua

Joshua Hancox

Melbourne tattoo artist

18+ years in tattooing

I’m Joshua Hancox, the artist behind Tattooed by Joshua. I have 18+ years of tattooing experience, built across my career in the UK and Australia. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, I focus on custom black and grey realism, Chicano, blackwork, full and half sleeves, back pieces and cover-ups.

Custom work, built around you

Every tattoo starts with the person wearing it. I take the time to understand the idea, plan how it will flow with the body and create a piece that feels personal—not copied. From sleeves and back pieces to detailed cover-ups, every project is approached with patience, clarity and attention to detail.
