JAKE JEGEL     

A bearded man with tattoos sitting in a tattoo parlor, wearing a black t-shirt with a graphic and the text 'trader bob's tattoo' and a black cap. Behind him are artwork tattoos on the wall and paper designs on the counter.

Jake Jegel has been with Trader Bob’s for the past two years, and has been tattooing for 19 years overall. He specializes in traditional tattoo pieces, and enjoys color, but can whip up a mean black and gray piece too! (No realism!) Jake would love to tattoo more tough shit. 

In Jake’s spare time, he likes to hang out with his dogs and read.

Jake is best reached to book appointments via text (314-496-1912) or Instagram DM (@jakeyliketattoo). He is available for walk-in tattoos Saturday through Tuesday, and by appointment only on Wednesday.
