Jason Kundell
At the age of 13, Jason Kundell took a break from skateboarding with friends when he saw a man with a Spiderman tattoo. Instantly struck by the high-quality artwork, the seeds were then planted in his brain that he wanted to be someone who created tattoos for those sought them. Kundell found out that tattoos could be more than artwork already on the walls of a shop, so he had a friend render an original piece which then became Kundell's first tattoo. Before formally beginning an apprenticeship, Jason did a few tattoos he admits to being understandably horrible. Things changed with the guidance of a few old friends and countless tattoo idols and role models. Being recognized specifically for Asian-style designs with an occasional look back to traditional old-school tattoo imagery, clients often rely on Jason's artistic ability to create custom designs. He maintains an extensive collection of books on a variety of Asian cultures and their artwork. He draws inspiration from Japanese Woodblock prints by Hokusai. From an early age, Jason was instilled with a strong desire to work hard, which he feels is most times more important than pure talent.
