Jason Graham
Jason started his tattoo apprenticeship in 2005 in Fresno, moved to Portland, Oregon and started tattooing professionally in 2010. The first shop he worked at in Portland was Sea Tramp: Oregon’s oldest tattoo shop now owned by the legendary Don Deaton, and was originally opened by the American traditional legend and master, Bert Grimm. A few years later Jason took a job at Grizzly Tattoo in Portland owned by the multitalented Tyler Adams. He moved back to Fresno in 2021 due to a death in his family.
The rest of Jason’s bio is coming soon.
Laura Graham
Originally from Connecticut, Laura studied illustration and English literature at the University of Connecticut starting in 2003. Over those years, she worked on drawing tattoo flash and began to create the paper cutout artwork that she still loves to do today. Some of these pieces can be seen on her Artwork page. She makes these cutouts with an exacto knife on paper, starting with a loose sketch before the meditative process of cutting away the negative space.
Laura moved to Portland, Oregon in 2006 and began tattooing in 2010, which is when she met Jason. After working at a few busy street shops, she found a real home at Grizzly Tattoo and worked there for the remainder of her years in Portland. When she wasn’t tattooing, she participated in group and solo art shows displaying her paper cutouts and paintings. In 2021, she moved with Jason here to Fresno, California. They opened Widow’s Walk Tattoo in October 2022, and when she isn’t tattooing, Laura can be found reading, working on paper cutouts, or playing with their five dogs: Yen, Guts, Casca, Bronson, and Early.
