Name: Johnny B. Hazard.
And yes, it's my real name ;)
Pronouns: He/him.
Favorite style to tattoo: New school/cartooning, anime, pop culture (especially 80s & 90s), creatures, cryptids, biomechanical, fantasy illustration, painterly work, text & handwriting, animals, flowers, and nature—also, reworks & cover-ups.
Styles you straight up do not enjoy creating and happily endorse other artists: There are a ton of excellent American Traditional artists in Indy. I always recommend Ellen Ross-Musick at Mythical Wizard. I have a bunch of her work on me!
I also have a bunch of Art Nouveau work from Shani at Lace & Lantern. He's awesome!
Best tattoo tip you’ve received: "Measure twice, cut once."
Biggest tattoo myth you’ve heard: "Tattoos are permanent."

"I couldn't ask for a better artist nor a more comfortable environment, and can't recommend them highly enough!"
"I feel so lucky to have found Johnny and Ritual Residue. I am an anxious person, and have to drive quite a distance to get to the shop, so I was a nervous wreck by the time I reached my first appointment. I was immediately put at ease, however. Johnny is kind, patient, and calm, and the whole shop is warm and welcoming to everyone who walks in. I love it there. Not to mention that Johnny's work is simply on another level, which is the reason I was willing to make the long drive in the first place. His color work and cover-up skills are incredible."

"This dude does amazing work."
