Jude is queer Thai-Chinese American artist/ tattooist, magical being extraordinaire. They started tattooing in 2012 and over the years have worked as a tattooer, concept artist, muralist, and illustrator in LA, Vancouver, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Seattle.
Jude views their tattooing practice as both an art and also a craft that incorporates body and energy work. At its roots, tattooing in many cultures have been a mark of a rite of passage, as well as a powerful medium to empower and heal an individual through designs and images. It is a way for us to claim and reclaim our bodies and to hold on our skin what we believe is beautiful and transformative.
In their tattoo art, they draw inspiration from fantasy, mythology, folk lore, animal familiars, archetypes, magical elements, flora/fauna, as well as anime and the fusion of Asian art with pnw elements. Jude predominantly work in blackwork and focuses on bigger scale projects.
