MEET

THE LORD OF SNAKE EYES

(He does actually have a castle in Scotland, hence the ‘lord’) The heart and soul of Compendium Tattoo, Jake is one of our apprentices learning from some of the best in the Melbourne tattoo scene. His skills have grown exponentially in his short period of time with us. Jake not only supports our artists here, but he is also immersing himself in a wide range of tattoo styles to hone his craft and skill, carefully considering which area to focus on in the future. Leaning towards Realism and its various sub-genres, Jake excels in script styles as well, creating sharp lines and solid block letters with the precision of an established artist.

Beyond his technical prowess, Jake's passion for all things anime adds a unique dimension to his work. He finds immense joy in bringing beloved 90s anime characters, such as Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z, to life on skin. This enthusiasm for nostalgic anime influences his approach, imbuing his tattoos with a playful and personal touch that resonates with many. As Jake continues to refine his techniques and expand his repertoire, his blend of traditional skill and modern flair promises to make him a standout talent in the tattooing community.
