Jason Brown is the co-founder of S.T. Tattoo Studio, alongside Suicidal Tendencies lead singer, Mike Muir, in Los Angeles, California. A third-generation DogTown native with over 25 years of experience in the tattoo industry, Jason’s artistry is recognized widely across the United States as well as various countries in Europe and Asia, with a substantial network in Japan. With passion and precision, Jason executes all tattoo styles while specializing in ghoulish, punk rock styles from his signature flip skull, to demons, and girls.
Inspired by punk rock culture, Jason discovered his artistic talents at a young age through sketches, paintings and sculptures, all of which have contributed to the development of his distinct tattoo style desired by clients worldwide. From extensive practice on family and locals in his early career, Jason began apprenticing under Baby Ray and Rick Clayton at LA Tattoo in Hollywood. He later befriended lead singer of Suicidal Tendencies (and current co-founder), Mike Muir, in the late 80’s, assisting on tours and tattooing fans while on the road.
With a combined vision of Westside lifestyle and punk rock, Jason and Mike opened S.T. Tattoo Studio on Venice Blvd. in 1998 in Los Angeles. S.T. Tattoo Studio is a Westside landmark beyond the average tattoo shop that has seen the transformation of Venice from “ghetto by the sea” to posh living and gentrification.
