Jess Yen, the talented artist behind My Tattoo in Southern California, has a rich history in the world of tattooing. Starting as a Tebori artist, specializing in the traditional Japanese hand-poked style, Yen's journey has been one of evolution and innovation.

Upon moving to the US, Jess Yen was introduced to the coil machine and was immediately captivated by its speed and capabilities. The coil machine offered a level of precision and efficiency that the Tebori method simply could not match. This technological advancement opened up a whole new world of possibilities for Yen's art.

With the influence of western culture, Jess Yen began incorporating elements of realism, materialism, and textures into his tattoo designs. This fusion of styles created a unique blend that set Yen apart in the tattooing world. His work, often referred to as illustrative style, showcases a mastery of techniques and shading needles.
