I currently work at Iron Heart Tattoo in Des Moines, IA. I travel around a bit working conventions and guest spots so check out my travel section to see if I'm gonna be in your area. If your interested in getting tattooed you can e-mail me with ideas. If you want to book an appointment or check availability call the shop at the number below.

I run a clothing company with my wife called Acanthus Apparel. The clothing features my artwork and utilizes her great eye for fashion and color. Acanthus items will be available very shortly in my "STORE' area. In the mean time you can check it out at www.myspace.com/acanthusapparel or at acanthusapparel.etsy.com.

I also build quality tattoo machines ( FOR PROFESSIONAL TATTOOERS ONLY). I build my machines from scratch, from the coil washers to the binding posts. I don't mass produce them and numbers are very limited. If you are interested in a custom order you can contact me. The machines that I build that are not built to order will be available in my webstore. Feel free to contact me with any questions at joshuacbowers@hotmail.com or through my myspace page- www.myspace.com/joshuacbowers.
