Portrait of tattoo artist Edward "Poch" Bestbio/poch-portrait.jpg

Bio

Art with elegance.

For over two decades, Edward "Poch" Best has built a reputation on unmatched realism — not only in color, but in black and grey. Every session starts the same way: a conversation about what the piece needs to say, long before the needle ever touches skin.

Words from clients

A few notes from the chair.

"Poch listened more than he talked, and the piece he handed back was exactly what I didn't know how to describe. Four sessions in and it still stops people on the street."
— Marisol T., full sleeve, black & grey
"The realism is on another level. My portrait piece looks like a photograph until you're close enough to see the linework."
— Daniel R., memorial portrait
"Booked him at a guest spot and it was worth the flight. Professional, clean studio, and the kind of artist who makes you feel like the only client that day."
— Jenna K., color piece
