About the Artist

Jared’s path into tattooing wasn’t planned — it started with a favor. A friend asked him to help out during a Friday the 13th flash event — setting up, breaking down, doing whatever needed to be done. He kept showing up, waiting for someone to tell him to stop. No one ever did. That quiet persistence turned into a two-year apprenticeship under Mikey Cohill and Kenneth Shaw, all while juggling a full-time 9–5 job. Now with 13 years of tattooing experience (and 9 of those full-time), Jared has built a career grounded in hustle, humility, and growth.

Working at Club Tattoo in Tempe, Arizona, Jared specializes in color traditional and neo-traditional tattooing, as well as custom lettering that blends bold style with personal meaning. His favorite projects are inspired by music — taking lyrics or song titles and translating them into rich, traditional-style tattoo designs with soul and edge.

His approach is simple but powerful: “We are both the student and the teacher.” Jared stays open — always learning, always sharing, always pushing himself forward. His art pulls from music, movies, Arizona’s Western grit, and the rawer sides of life — heartbreak, loss, addiction — the experiences most people try to bury. Jared uses them as fuel to create something real, honest, and healing.

His influences span worlds — from traditional tattooers like Jacob Downy and Almagoro, to surrealists like Craola and Dali, to lettering legends like The Motivation. That blend of classic and experimental shows up in every piece he does.

Outside of tattooing, Jared focuses on being a good dad, hitting concerts, watercolor painting, and going deep into his love of film. And here’s something most people wouldn’t guess — he originally went to school for fashion, another creative path that still informs his eye for detail, flow, and composition.

When it comes to trends, he’s all about big, bold pieces that hold weight over time.

In a world full of filters, Jared brings something real — tattoos with meaning, made to last.
