Our Artists
Uncle Bob
Head Artist/Owner
Bob Hall was born and raised in New Albany Indiana. When he was six years old he recognized that art in almost all mediums was a passion of his, and it didn’t take him long to know that following his art, is where he wanted his life to lead him.
When Robert was 21 years old, he began to feel like he could start pursuing a career in art, and he started by etching memorials and headstones for monument companies. Doing this he traveled the country etching for almost a decade. One of his most famous etchings is in Fort Campbell Ky, a 10,000 pound granite memorial to the Fort Campbell victims of the December 1985 plane crash in Gander Newfoundland.
Once his daughter was born he didn't want to be on the road most of her life and miss her growing, so he stopped etching, and that's when his life as a tattoo artist began. With his lifetime of experience in art, he opened Uncle Bob’s Tattoos in 1996, with a hope of staying close to home and family, while still making a living with his art.
Now, not only can you see his oil paintings, but his living works of art, tattoos, walking around all over indiana, and the united states.

RJ
Senior Tattoo Artist
Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and a proud U.S. Navy veteran, I began tattooing in 1996 and joined Uncle Bob’s Tattoos in 2000.
My fascination with tattoos began at age five, but it was in my early teens—watching my dad get tattooed and immersing myself in the imagery of 80s and 90s tattoo culture and rock/metal album art—that I truly fell in love with the art form.
I work across a variety of styles, including black and grey, color, fine line, and traditional, striving to be fluent in as many as possible. Cover-up tattoos are a favorite challenge for me—the sense of accomplishment when transforming an old piece is incredibly rewarding. My personal style leans toward a hybrid of black and grey with bold splashes of color.
Tattooing has given me the opportunity to meet incredible people and touch their lives in meaningful ways. From hearing jokes and personal stories to witnessing tears and joy, there’s nothing like seeing the look on a client’s face when their vision comes to life.
RJ accepts appointments Tuesday-Friday, and walk-ins Tuesday-Friday evenings and all day Saturday!
After decades in the business, RJ can do just about any tattoo you want! He loves the challenge of cover ups!
Janelle
Tattoo Artist
I graduated from high school early and joined the Marine Corps shortly after. After completing my service, I began exploring various artistic mediums that caught my interest. I vividly remember sitting at my desk, using a sharpie to outline a drawing, and realizing that I truly enjoyed the outlining process—it became my favorite part. For two years, I focused on my art, and one day, I came across an advertisement for tattoo school. It was an option I had never considered before.
Curiosity piqued, I decided to visit the Florida Tattoo Academy in Tarpon Springs, and as soon as I stepped foot inside, I felt an instant sense of belonging. After leaving the Marine Corps, it had been challenging to find a place where I felt I belonged and had a sense of purpose. Tattooing gave that back to me. I enrolled in the school and completed the program in 11 weeks, blessed with incredible instructors who guided and taught me. Being surrounded by passionate and talented tattoo artists ignited a fire within me. I fell in love with the art of tattooing instantly and am committed to continually growing in this field.
When I'm tattooing, the world could be crumbling around me, yet all my anxieties and depression fade away the moment the needle touches the skin. I feel a profound sense of being exactly where I'm meant to be.
I enjoy doing black and grey work! typically nature, tiny woodland critters and bugs, mushrooms, trippy tattoos, anime, sea creatures, anything organic and natural, fine line etc.
Janelle is available Wednesday-Friday by Appointment Only, and takes walk-ins, first come first served, on Thursday & Friday Evenings, and Saturdays.
