A Jersey Shore native, but no, he didn't end up on the show; Jon's love for the arts has been a lifelong pursuit. Dabbling in visual art as a child, and proving his dedication to the craft, his grandmother helped him purchase a Wacom tablet at a younger age, cementing his journey to becoming a digital artist. Fascinated with character design and animation, Jon took to immediate study, whether it was from classes at his community college, seeking advice from peers, or by teaching himself by studying more advanced technique where he could find it.This was not as a hobby, or a means of entertainment, but a craft, and one he intended to turn into a lifelong career!

​

His life eventually led him to Augusta, GA, and, over the years, his interests in art started to leans towards tattooing. Heavily influenced by the cartoons he grew up on, the character design and vibrant colors that inspired him in the first place, tattooing appealed to him, as it's a way to tell stories on a more personal level. Finishing his education at Moth & Magpie, he brings a levity and colorful spin to the culture of the studio.

Outside of the shop, Jon is an avid Manga, Anime, and movie fan in general. He also spends a good portion of his time working in his garden, playing with new recipes in the kitchen, playing video games, and hanging out with his step-dog, Lemon.
