Jake has been with BTS for over 8 years now.
After getting off to quite a rocky start (I was firing him the 1st day) he is coming very strongly into his own. Sometimes it takes an artist time to find their sense of purpose and direction, where they can fully embrace the reality of what it means to become a "Tattoo Artist"! Somewhere in the winter months of 08-09 Jake passed through the doorway from what you do> to who you are!!

 

He always makes a point of saying he is the only one that never got sent home!
