Awesome Tattoos is a modern shop with an old school touch. “I wanted to bring back a little of the history of our building while modernizing it into the future.” At Awesome Tattoos there are three permanent artists; Johnny Awesome, Oliva Taylor, and Jerry Martin II, with a collective 30 years’ experience. We are a collection of independent artists that help build a culture of precision tattooing in downtown Fayetteville. “My coworkers gave me a family and I gave them a home. Just like downtown gave me a home.” Each artist specializes in either American, Japanese, and Traditional tattooing. Johnny has been a freehand artist for the past five years. “All of our artists in my shop are licensed and professional.”
