Aspiring Tattoo Artist in Chicago, IL

About
Amy Johnson

Hi there! You all know me and know I’ve been an artist my entire life. I started with painting at the age of 5 with a set of paints from my grandpa. I took AP Studio Art classes in high school. I went to art school where I got a traditional art degree, explored the wonders of painting, printmaking, graphic design and art history.

I grew through the ranks in my career and am now a Senior Product Designer at Sprout Social. I plan to start attending tattoo school in my evenings to explore a part of me that has always been there, but not quite tapped into. I’m very excited for this next chapter.

Starting in December 2024, I will be starting an apprenticeship with Ink Different Tattoo School in Wicker Park, Chicago. It is a 1-2 year program where I will get a comprehensive education on tattooing from the different art styles and tattoo structure, to machine mastery to supervised tattoos. Wish me luck!
