Even with 'ink-covered' jeans Joshua Thomas is effortlessly stylish. As a tattoo artist and owner of Trafalgar Street Tattoo Joshua is a creative soul influenced by nineties grunge fashion and sustainable shopping, with a little bit of 'dad style' for good mix.
What are you wearing?
These are straights from Rivers, but I found them in an op shop for $6. They’re covered in ink from work. T-shirt is made by my friend’s band Soul Void. And Dr. Martens on the bottom.
What are you dressed for today?
Making tattoos.

Crocs. I know.
Where do you buy most of your clothes from?
Uniqlo is where I get most of my basics, and the rest I try to get from op shops and markets.
What is your approach to shopping?
I only go shopping for new clothes when I desperately need something, otherwise I prefer recycled shopping.
What is your all-time favourite purchase?
I’ve had a shirt in my wardrobe for probably five or six years that’s on constant rotation over summer. It was a XXL long sleeve office shirt I bought from an op shop that I cut into a short sleeve.
What is your worst clothing disaster?
Years ago, I wore a pair of green pants with a red check shirt to work and someone called me a Christmas tree at a staff meeting.

A single pair of shoes you could wear on any day.
