Tattoo Talk in the Gallery

Tattoo mavens and fans, join us for lively discussions in conjunction with the exhibition Lew the Jew and His Circle: Origins of American Tattoo. In this talk, Jason Stein from Cyclops Tattoo shares stories about San Francisco tattoo culture in the 1990s. Jason Stein has been tattooing professionally since 1996. His work features bold imagery with an emphasis on flow and how the design will complement the body. He takes inspiration from a wide range of artistic styles including Art Nouveau; traditional American and Japanese tattooing; and botanical and scientific illustrations, as well as classical fine art painting.
