Tattoos that demand attention.

House of Grace exists to offer a slower, more intentional tattoo experience rooted in connection, craft, community, meaning, and a bit of fun. All within a private studio tucked away like a speakeasy.

The studio itself is a work of art, it’s constantly evolving and offers my guests something new to notice each time they come in.

It all begins with a free consultation to explore your ideas and answer any of your questions.

Consultations can be done in person or virtually.

The Work

A note from JTG

  • I’ve been doing this for 30 years. From large-scale Japanese work to abstract and ornamental blackwork, smaller collector pieces and personal mementos.

    Over the years, I’ve tattooed thousands of people all around the world.

    I approach tattooing as an artist. Instinct, expression, and discovery are part of how I work. A piece may begin loosely sketched and blocked in, with decisions developing as I work on the body. I often don’t plan every detail in advance.

    My way of working isn’t for everyone. If you need every detail resolved before we start, my approach may not be the right fit for you.

    Working together requires trust from both of us. I think of it as agreeing to go on a journey together, we want to make sure we’ll be good travel partners.

    Large projects require time, multiple sessions, healing between appointments, and commitment. The consultation gives us a chance to discuss my process, your expectations, desires, and the commitment involved.

    If that sounds like something you’re interested in, book a free consultation so we can discuss whether working together makes sense.

“From large, detailed pieces to small, unique designs, his artistry and precision are incredible. He creates a comfortable, welcoming environment, and his positive energy makes the hours fly by. Jason is not only an outstanding tattoo artist but also a genuinely good person. Highly recommend!”

“Jason is hands down one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. My experience with Male tattoo artists in the past were less than subpar, the bar was in hell and they still got lower BUT Jason would never be in that category!!!

7 sessions and 22-ish hours later and I have an absolute MASTERPIECE on my arm!!

Jason is probably the best person I know and the best artist I could rec for anything but specially Japanese traditional!!”
