GUEST ARTIST

Jonathan “Johnny13” Jansky

Jonathan's work has taken him between Missouri and San Diego, where he has maintained ties to the Southern California tattoo community and SoCal Tattoo. That range of experience has helped shape his approach to tattooing: listen to the client, understand the idea, and create a piece that works as art while still belonging to the person wearing it.

Known for his patience, creativity, and ability to bring new life to existing tattoos as well as create original custom pieces, Jonathan approaches every project as a collaboration between artist and client.
