Josh Lin LLC

Josh Lin is a Taiwanese award-winning tattoo artist, creative director, and co-founder of creative imprint, MRKT5.

With over a decade of his career span, the tattoo cognoscenti have also worked extensively from Asia to the Western hemisphere, most notably apprenticed under renowned British make-up artist, Dawn Cragg MBE, learning how to provide post-surgical treatments through sub-dermal implantation of tattoo pigments.

While portraiture and realism remains a lodestone for him, his eternal vision and values have also expanded through shaping projects with prestigious brands from the worlds of art, music, and fashion, including LVMH, Golden Goose Deluxe Brand, W Hotels, TEDx, xVESSEL, and many more.

AND ASSOCIATES was tasked with modernizing his brand, through concept, identity design, creative direction, digital, and design, which had driven considerable excitement and conversation. Throughout the partnership, our team has worked with Josh's internal team to over-deliver on these objectives, which has served to refresh – and differentiate – the brand’s perception in a challenged tattoo environment.
