Joey Hamilton Career
While serving in the U.S. Air Force, Hamilton had started to think about what he would do when his service ended. He had always been an artist and started looking into being a tattoo artist. During his search, a friend of his recommended it too, and linked him up with another friend of theirs in the air force who was also a tattoo artist. This person was Rodney Folsom, and he showed him the ropes of how the profession works.
As soon as Hamilton was capable enough, he had taken off his career as a tattoo artist in 1996. After finishing his service, he began working on his skills in Florida and then moved to Sin City to look for more work.
After about 17 years, in 2013, Joey Hamilton applied to be a part of the third season of “Ink Master” and was successful in impressing the judges during his interview.
As the show went on, Hamilton did not let down the viewers or the judges for the entirety of the 12 episodes and was successful in being part of the final lineup for the 13th episode. He was up against Jime Litwalk and Katherine “Tatu Baby” Flores and ended up winning the show and the prize amount with his stunning leg tattoo of a mermaid.
