About JakeMincey

Biography:

I always wanted to do something professionally in the art field but came from a poor family. My father & mother always wanted to see me at some big college or art school but unfortunately the cost was just beyond there means. Several years went by & I graduated from high school when the tattoo world started to really strike a chord with me! I just couldn't get over how crazy good some of the legends/my idols (Paul Booth, Bob Tyrrel, Mario Barth, ect.) were pumping out these killer Tattoo's but for me it was more than just ink, needles, & a couple scary rebellious hell raising biker dudes... it was so much more it was ART at its finest!! I got my 1st apprenticeship in 2010 & not knowing a damn thing about tattoos & being fresh cut & green my "mentor" took full advantage of me in every means possible. After 7months I finally wised up & 2other fellow artist told me about another local artist who would see potential in me & help me expand & explore it to its full capability. So I took there advise & during January 2012 I met up with Jerry Bean (@Synergy Tattoo Knoxville TN) & sure enough the guy did exactly as I was told he would do.The rest is as the old saying goes "history in the making ." Truly a dream come true for any real artist at heart!!!!
