Tattoo/Piercer Apprentice Jay Plecas
Jay was born in Grand Rapids, MI in 1989. He has been fascinated with tattoos and body modification since he was young. As a child he often drew what he thought he would want as a tattoo when he was old enough. He considers tattooing to be a beautiful craft and loves everything about it; from the design process, application, and even the history of tattooing as well. He is amazed by it on many levels.
Jay and some friends came to A.W.O.L. back in 2008 to get graduation tattoos and Jay met Ray. They have since become friends. He had dabbled for years in tattooing but had been thinking about doing an apprenticeship. So in 2018 he was finally convinced by a stranger to bite the bullet and dive in.
He says that he couldn't be happier, is honored, and blessed to be part of A.W.O.L. and the tattoo community. He wants to learn all styles of tattooing as his skill set grows but traditional will always have his heart.
Jay would like us to thank you for looking at his bio and say that he can't wait for you to come in and let him make you something that will stand the test of time.
His portfolio can be seen here.
In mid 2022 Jay also has started to learn piercing from our own Jarrett Prow.
Musical Choices: Metal, occasionally old country, or just anything that will shake his head and move his feet. :)
