Burkey

Hi, my name is Joshua Burke, but you can call me Burkey. I’ve been tattooing for many years and I am somewhat of a gypsy. Raised in a small town, itchy feet had me moving all around the state. I was working with Kel back several years ago at Redback Ink, however I felt the need to move away and chase a new path. A few dead ends later, I’m back working with my friend. My young family and I have just moved back into the Rocky region. With my kids getting a little older, we are looking at sticking around for the foreseeable future to set down some roots and let them grow up with their friends. In this crazy world everyone needs to find what makes them happy and that is what tattooing does for me. It is my happy place. There is nothing better than chilling out with a rad client, creating a masterpiece that is theirs. Everything I do, every style, I find inspiration from my client. I don’t feel I have a particular style that I do best, I like all styles, especially semi realistic. However, I have been told I’m pretty good with new school, old school, black work and script.

So, for now you can find me rockin’ the red locks of my mullet or ratty and my beautiful red beard, chillin’ with the Redback Ink family, “Livin’ the Dream”.
