Josh Bovender: family man, tinkerer, and #1 JRPG fan

Josh started tattooing in 2013 in Greenville. He bopped around the state working in a few different shops before opening Sweet and Sour Tattoo in 2020. He specializes in bold, bright tattoos with fun colors and subject matter. He’s tattooed everything from panthers to capybaras, reapers to potted plants - he really does it all!

Check the booking link below for more information on how to book.

Josh started building tattoo machines in 2024 with Mike Suarez under Amigos Manufacturing. Check the shop for his one of a kind machine drops every month.
