Jack initially specialized in the vibrant and dynamic new-school tattoo style, which gained him recognition and success over the years. However, his journey led him to develop a profound fascination for the art of black and gray tattooing.

 

Now, with a primary focus on the traditional Japanese style, Jack seamlessly integrates these diverse elements into his work. Beyond tattooing, Jack is also passionate about music, movies, and using his skills to support individuals in their journey towards recovery.

​

With 10 years of tattooing experience, Jake is recognized as a prolific artist, presenting hundreds of paintings and designs available for tattooing. He has created approximately 65 Japanese-style paintings and over 50 colored pencil drawings for one-shot tattoo designs. All of these are ready to be tattooed!

 

As a progressive artist, he has crafted paintings that fuse modern culture with traditional Japanese motifs, showcasing pieces like biomech Fujin and biomech Raijin, alongside Ninja Turtle-inspired backpiece designs featuring iconic characters such as Shredder, Master Splinter, and April O'Neil. While creating these innovative pieces, he still makes time to make classic traditional Japanese paintings.
