Chris Jenkins
As a young child, with Rafael from the Ninja Turtles as his alter ego, Chris started drawing everything. In school he enrolled in every art class offered, and when he exhausted new courses, he took his favorites again. When it came time for college, he followed the direction of previous generations and enrolled in Teacher Education, but quickly grew tired of the old guard’s stranglehold on creativity. That’s when Chris found his natural talent for tattooing. His mother calls his style “Demented Cartoon” and he calls it “Neo-Fictional Realism”.
He welcomes inquisitiveness, listens to your vision, and anticipates joy. He seeks such symbiosis with you, his living, breathing canvas.
