Hey, I’m Logan Hinton, a tattoo artist at Eminence Ink in Willimantic, Connecticut. I grew up in Ledyard, Connecticut, and moved to Willimantic to attend Eastern Connecticut State University, where I earned my degree in Communications and Business in 2020. While my background is in communications, art has always been my passion, and tattooing became the perfect way to bring that to life.​ 

 

My journey into tattooing started when I began getting tattoos myself. Coming to Eminence Ink during college opened my eyes to the history and artistry of tattooing—especially American Traditional. I fell in love with its bold lines, bright colors, and timeless designs. I even started hand-poking tattoos in my dorm. That passion led me here, where I officially started tattooing in the fall of 2020.

​

Outside of tattooing, I’ve been playing music for over a decade, growing way too many plants, and collecting things I probably shouldn’t—like an absurd amount of VHS tapes and Pokémon memorabilia. My home is basically a time capsule of nostalgia, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

​

At Eminence Ink, we’re more than just a tattoo shop—we’re a family. The shop has a tight-knit, welcoming atmosphere where everyone pushes each other to grow as artists. My style is rooted in American Traditional, but above all, I aim to create work that’s clean, bold, and built to last. My goal is to bring each client’s vision to life while making sure they walk away loving their tattoo as much as I love creating it.

​

When I’m not tattooing, you’ll probably find me playing music, adding to my ever-growing collection of tapes, or just enjoying time outside of the studio. But no matter what, tattooing comes first—it’s what I love, and I feel lucky to do it every day.
