Big Jaz
Originally from Rhode Island, Big Jaz began tattooing there before making his mark in Brooklyn. For two decades, he has owned shops all over Brooklyn in areas such as Crown Heights, Clinton Hill, Williamsburgh and now his very own Electric Gorilla Tattoo shop on Suydam Street is right in the heart of Bushwick.
