Specialties

• Black & Grey Realism
• Large-Scale Custom Work
• Chicano-Inspired Tattoos
• Custom Lettering & Script

Jon focuses on:

Structured large-scale composition, bold contrast for depth, clean, readable lettering, balanced flow across the body. Large-scale projects require careful planning and cohesion. Jon ensures that each sleeve, panel, or full-body piece reads as a complete composition rather than separate elements.

For custom lettering, he prioritizes spacing, symmetry, and long-term clarity to ensure legibility over time.
