Sponsored Artist Feature - We’re proud to spotlight Edwin Rios, owner of @roseinkstudios in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. Edwin’s journey into the world of tattooing began back in 2014 as an apprentice, and it’s been nothing short of an adventure ever since.
Reflecting on his early days, Edwin admits the road was tough, but every challenge made his success even sweeter. What pushed him through? His unwavering love for art. "Honestly, my passion and love for art was my motivation," he shares. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing—he still recalls his first neck tattoo, a piece that didn’t go as planned. "The lines were so thick it looked like I did it with a sharpie," Now, Edwin admits the experience made him question his skills for a moment. But instead of giving up, he used it as a learning moment, growing into the versatile artist he is today.
Today, Edwin embraces a wide range of tattoo styles, from surrealism and lettering to neo-traditional. But he’s always open to trying new things. "I’m down to do any style of tattooing. As long as I get the opportunity, I’m game for whatever walks in," he says. That open-minded approach is part of what makes his work stand out, and his clients love the one-of-a-kind designs he creates based on their vision.
Running a shop has given Edwin a deep appreciation for the freedom that comes with tattooing. From the unforgettable memories with his team to the ups and downs of the craft, he embraces it all. "Seeing tattooing evolve has been crazy," Edwin reflects. And while he admires the work of legendary artists like Jack Rudy, Freddy Negrete, Eric Marcinizyn, and Philadelphia Eddie, he’s carving out his own path, both in the industry and beyond.
Edwin’s advice to aspiring tattoo artists? Stay consistent. “Don’t get caught up in drama or industry politics. Mind your business, be cordial, but ultimately, focus on yourself.” Wise words from someone who’s been through it all.
And what's next for Edwin? He’s headed to the Milano Tattoo Expo and has big plans to travel overseas more often next year—so stay tuned! Whether you're looking for your next piece or just have a question, Edwin’s always open to connecting.

P.ink - As we continue to support P.ink throughout October, we want to remind everyone of the important work being done for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We are excited to share a full video capturing our recent collaboration with Personal Ink, highlighting the heartfelt moments and transformative experiences from this special project. You can watch the video here.

A Personal Story: Raising Awareness for Male Breast Cancer - This week, we’re honored to share the powerful story of one of our ambassador’s husbands, a two-time breast cancer survivor. Her husband’s journey serves as an important reminder that men can get breast cancer too, and we’re incredibly grateful for her courage in sharing their experience with us.
Ten years ago, while working out at the gym, he noticed a pink-tinged fluid on his chest and shirt. He immediately sought medical attention and was diagnosed with stage 1 ductal carcinoma in situ. After undergoing a double mastectomy and multiple reconstructive surgeries, he was in remission for seven years. But a few months later, the fluid returned, and his cancer had come back. This time, he underwent additional surgery, lymph node removal, and radiation treatment.
Now, almost three years cancer-free after his second diagnosis, he proudly wears a beautiful tattoo that covers the scars left behind by his journey—serving as both a personal reminder and a symbol of his resilience.
As we continue to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let this story be a reminder for everyone—men included—to stay vigilant. The third week of October is Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week, and we encourage all men to get checked.
Thank you again to this ambassador for sharing such a personal and inspiring story.
