Joe Capobianco

Tattoo Artist, Illustrator
Hope Gallery Tattoo
New Haven, CT

Joe is one of those artists who have always been able to stay at the front of the industry in one way or another. An unmistakable style and constantly involving himself and others in a wide array of art projects from painting denim jackets for the Fist Full of Metal project to illustrating books with Jime Litwalk and Tony Ciavaro has made him a household name in several industries. His interest in working with Steadfast Brand and his approval of the finished product involving his art is a testament to our project quality given the opinionated position Joe takes on things (people who know Joe understand this)! The first project of the Bunny design he did with us came from one late night in Las Vegas when Joe and owner Chris Collins hung out in the Playboy Club at the Palms Hotel and Casino. We stood there watching an amazing Playboy Bunny dealing high limit blackjack and I told him “Joe if you ever paint me something, make it her”. A couple of years later the design you see here was finished! We look forward to seeing more great art from Joe and cool new projects together.
