Jesse Jones was born in Riverside and raised in Reseda, California.

When he was 16, he moved to Idaho. Before tattooing, he worked as a carpenter — building homes and projects all across the Pacific Northwest, living in many states along the way.

But years of addiction and destructive behavioral patterns eventually caught up with him. In 2021, he found himself in prison.

That's where everything changed. He got sober, and he started drawing. And he never stopped.

While he was locked up, he made himself a promise: when he got out, he was gonna become a tattoo artist.

So that's what he did. He walked into Ink Slaves and started his apprenticeship under Chris Jansen, who took him under his wing and taught him the trade the right way.

His first year, he worked a full-time job and tattooed on the side. After that, he dedicated damn near every single day to the craft.

He wouldn't change a thing — every hard lesson led him here. Tattooing isn't just his career, it's proof of how far he's come. He turned his lowest point into his life's work, and now he spends every day helping people wear their own stories with pride. He puts his heart and soul into every tattoo, and he's dedicated to giving every client a positive experience. Black & grey realism, fine line, blackwork — from a guy who refused to stay down.
