Every Sunday, NEPA Creative turns the spotlight on some awesome creatives. This week, we have Jason Thomas from Marc’s Tattooing!
Living in West Wyoming, but working in Pittston, Jason has been tattooing for the past 8 years. Art has always been a focus of his life, and he finds it humbling that he gets to do what he loves as a career. He’s an LGBTQA+ artist who expresses himself on the human body with pigmented inks and tattoo machines. His artistry is expressed with bold lines and bright colors.
As soon as Jason received his first tattoo, he knew he wanted to become a tattoo artist. Once he graduated from Keystone College, he pursued an apprenticeship at Marc’s Tattooing. In a full-circle moment, the man who gave Jason his first tattoo became his teacher, passing his tattoo knowledge onto Jason (“Love you, Jarid 😘.” – Jason).
He doesn’t have a creative process, but he’s inspired by other artists’ styles across various mediums. He also finds inspiration through nature, animals, and color theory.
Art helps Jason keep going. He eats, breathes, and sleeps tattooing. It has helped Jason find his purpose in life, and he doesn’t know what he would do without it. His advice to others? Find something you love to do and do something important with it. We would have to agree, Jason!
You can find Jason expressing his artistry at Marc’s Tattooing at 10 South Main Street in Pittston. You can also follow him on Instagram @jt.tattooing.
