Jason Kundell

Jason was born and raised in Southern California, but his mustache hails from an El Paso Rancher's upper lip. In 2009, he migrated north, as he left San Francisco to bring the Pacific Northwest his brand of Japanese inspired tattooing in his reincarnation of the world renown Art Work Rebels tattoo studio. Outside of tattooing Jason enjoys Jiu Jitsu, porchetta sandwiches, & Neurosis, but puts spending time with his daughter, Lula, above everything else. Jason can often be spotted towing Lula on his bike around the city on his days off.

George Campise

My name is George Campise & I work & own War Horse Tattoo in Berkeley California. Originally from southern New Jersey, I moved to San Francisco in 1991 & started tattooing in 1993. I've had no formal instruction in art (beyond high school) except for the example set before me by the incredible gallery of artists & tattooist I've been fortunate enough to work with over the last 19 years. Through my shared experiences with these people as co-workers, at times clients & often as jackasses I feel I've been able to find my voice & develop a style which in equal measure has been influenced by the imagery of my childhood (comics, movies, skate art) and the genius I've been fortunate enough to witness. I truly cannot express enough the gratitude I have for these people & on a larger scale tattooing as a whole. Every single positive thing I have in my life, from friends to family, tattooing has provided. I hope my time as a practitioner reflects my gratitude for having been chosen for this honor.

Tony Hundahl

My name is Tony Hundahl. I've been tattooing professionally since 1998. Artistically I tend to focus on bold imagery with a lot of movement that is based in traditional western and Japanese styles. I try to be versatile enough to translate any idea into a tattoo that will look powerful and hold up over time.

Steve Byrne

My name is Steve Byrne. I co-own Rock Of Ages Tattoo shop in Austin, TX. I spent twelve years tattooing in England before moving to the United States in 2009. Where I am now is the perfect environment for me. The shop is a mix of demanding high end custom work and street level walk-in trade. I've been fortunate over the years to have gained a great deal of experience working alongside some of the best in the business. Regardless of traveling or being at home, my only goal is to honor tattooing by constantly learning and becoming better at what I do.

Virginia Elwood

I tattoo at New York Adorned in Manhattan and apprenticed at Pumpkin Tattoo in Boston in 2001. Mostly self taught as far as art and drawing goes... but I've been fortunate to work with and learn from some amazing artists over the past ten years. I was really into black and grey realistic portraits a few years back, and still enjoy doing them, but have been trying to take a bolder more illustrative approach to them recently. My focus has shifted from the finer line tattooing I was doing a few years ago to much bolder, traditional inspired pieces. I'm happiest now when a client comes to me asking for my own artwork, or at least my interpretation of their idea. I'm so happy the Marcus asked me to be a part of his project, he has been a big influence on my tattooing, and I had a lot of fun making the film!

Thomas Hooper

My name is Thomas Hooper. I work out of Saved Tattoo here in Brooklyn NY.

Born in Hastings East Sussex, I studied Drawing at The London Institute of Art & Design, subsequently moving from London to New York City to pursue my goals in Tattooing and Art.

Painter, illustrator, tattoo artist and an editor for Sang Bleu Magazine, mixing orthodox and unorthodox painting techniques, organic textures with computer-enhanced patterns, accidental stains with geometrical entities. This pictorial work although directly complementary to my skin-based work, sails far from the world of tattooing to explore a very medium-orientated abstraction.
