Hey Jonny here, I'm the owner and one of the artists at Held for Ransom Tattoos.

 

I got my first tattoo back in '94 and pretty much fell in love with tattoos and the industry instantly, getting my second tattoo the next week and I've never really stopped since!

 

​I started tattooing professionally in 2017 after leaving the military.

 

I enjoy doing most styles of tattoos but my real passion is blackout and heavy blackwork. Not everyone can see the beauty in solid black, but in my opinion that's what makes it so special!
