On July 6th, 2003, Art & Soul Tattoo and many others lost a great talent, a dear friend and a soul with a big heart. Francis (Frankie 4 Eyes) Joshua Korkowski ended his own life. We will all have questions that will forever go unanswered. Frankie (or Josh as some knew him) was a talented, wonderful, loving, caring and genuinely good soul that the world will always miss.
Born in Easton, PA, Joshua attended Easton Area High School until he moved to Brea, CA, where he graduated from Brea High School. He became a tattoo artist with Art & Soul Tattoo in Los Angeles in 2002. He also studied fine art and philosophy at Cal State Fullerton.
He is survived by his parents Frank and Marsha, and little sister, Tessa. He was buried at Memory Garden Memorial, in Brea, on Friday, July 11, 2003.
If you would like to make contributions in his memory, please contact The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention at the link below. Make sure when you send in your donations to the AFSP, that you state "In memory of Francis Joshua Korkowski".
Let's save someone.
Sincerely, Erika Stanley and the Crew at Art & Soul Tattoo Co.
