About Jake | ![]() |
| ABOUT "TATTOO JAKE" Well, I have been tattooing professionally for over 25 years now......It all started in Northern Ontario with the first tattoo when I was 18 and I knew then and there that the only way I was going to be able to afford all the tattoos I wanted was to become a tattoo artist. Tattooed all across Canada since the early 1980's with long stops in Quebec, Ontario,Alberta and British Columbia along the way. The last 5 years in Ontario at Hardcore Tattoo before moving West to Hook up with the I-Kandy Crew. I specialize in cover-up and repair, high impact blackwork, cosmetic repair , scar cover and old school tattoos. The only place I haven't tattooed on the human body is the eye-lids.
If you should require professional unbiased advice please feel free to email me or call me at the studio 604-532-1188 in Langley,BC. Tuesday thru Saturday from 12pm-5pm PDT.
