Jesse Smith from "Ink Master" is one of the contestants in Season 2 of the Spike TV reality tattoo competition series. He is the owner and tattoo artist at Loose Screw Tattoo in Richmond, Virginia. He has 15 years of experience.
Jesse Smith ("Ink Master") discovered his love of art while living in Germany as an "army brat" teen. He quickly became interested in urban culture and graffiti art. After returning to the States, he enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University to help round out his own artistic style. One of his first jobs was drawing caricatures at Busch Gardens in VA and found himself among a circle of artists who introduced him to the world of tattooing, eventually learning how to make his own homemade tattoo gun. Jesse developed his signature style of quirky cartoon style designs and use of color working in numerous tattoo shops in the US as well as overseas in Europe and China before opening up his own shop last year.
