Can I see healed examples of Josh Herrera's tattoo work?

Generally, yes. Black pigment holds its tone longer than color pigments and tends to age more evenly over time. A well-executed black and grey tattoo from a skilled artist, combined with proper aftercare and sun protection, will maintain its definition and visual impact for many years.

Fine line tattooing uses thin needles and precise technique to create delicate, detailed designs with subtle shading. The style is known for its elegance and intricacy, and it works beautifully for botanical illustrations, portraits, script, geometric patterns, and minimalist imagery. Fine line tattoos require a skilled artist to execute properly and heal cleanly.

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your tattoo appointment. The deposit will be honored if you need to reschedule, provided you give at least 48 hours notice. If you arrive more than 30 minutes late without notifying Josh in advance, or if you do not show up to your appointment, the deposit is forfeited.

Silver Tooth Tattoo accepts major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and Afterpay. Afterpay allows you to divide the cost of your tattoo into interest-free installments, which is especially helpful for larger custom projects.

Keep your new tattoo clean and lightly moisturized during the healing process. Avoid soaking it in water, direct sun exposure, and picking or scratching at any peeling skin. Josh will provide you with specific aftercare instructions at the end of your session. Following them carefully is essential to preserving the quality and longevity of your tattoo.

Yes. Josh's portfolio on the Portfolio page of this website includes examples of his work. You can also follow Silver Tooth Tattoo on Instagram at @jh_tattoo to see a regularly updated feed of Josh's latest pieces. If you have specific questions about healed results for a particular style or placement, feel free to ask during your consultation.

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of black and grey tattooing is how well it works across all skin tones. Because the style relies on contrast and shading rather than color saturation, a skilled artist like Josh can tailor the technique to complement any complexion and achieve stunning results.

Get a full night of sleep the night before. Eat a solid meal within a few hours of your appointment and stay well hydrated. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session. If your appointment is a longer session, consider bringing a snack and a water bottle.

Session length depends on the size and complexity of your design. Smaller pieces may be completed in a single session of a few hours, while larger projects like sleeves, chest pieces, and back tattoos require multiple sessions spread over weeks or months. Josh will outline the full timeline during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.

Smaller custom pieces are often completed in one session. Medium pieces may take one to two sessions. Large scale projects like full sleeves, leg sleeves, or back pieces typically require multiple sessions with healing time between each one. Your consultation with Josh will include a clear breakdown of the estimated number of sessions and the overall project timeline.

You can share your ideas through the booking form on the website, by email at josh@silvertoothtattoo.com, or by texting Josh directly at 725-284-1887.
