- The Story of an artist -



Kenneth Brown, Jr. was born and raised in Milpitas, California, and in 2017 he moved to the city of Gilroy where he currently lives.


Kenny learned how to tattoo from watching YouTube videos while practicing on grapefruits and oranges. As a self-taught tattoo artist, Kenny's talents have opened up many doors for him, allowing him to tattoo throughout the Bay Area and in different states also. Kenny specializes in Polynesian tribal, Filipino tribal, mandala, geometric stippling, black & grey, color, anime, fine line, calligraphy, and floral tattoos.


Tattooing for 13 years now, Kenny continues to show through his tattoos how passionate he is about what he does. He enjoys meeting new people every day, sharing his artwork with them, and through that, finding a way to help them in their journey through life.

"I realized my purpose in life when I became a tattoo artist.

I've always had a natural gift for caring for others and being a good listener, while also offering my wisdom and support to them, and tattooing allowed me to share that with my clients.

Everyone's purpose in life is to use their God-given talents to give back to others in some way; something that is bigger than themselves. I use tattooing as an outlet to share with others my natural talents I was gifted with, such as motivating others with my story, illustrating their important moments in life through my art, and sharing with them my wisdom that came from my struggles.

My job title, contrary to popular belief, does not change who I am as a person or what I'm meant to do in life. I deeply care for people and I always want the best for them. I love listening to others' stories and empathizing with them on a relatable level, while still being able to help them see the humor in their challenges in life and to also be thankful for them.

The more time I spend getting to know my clients, the more I’m able to help them capture exactly what they’ve gone through in life through their tattoos.

Not to mention, they also get free therapy sessions out of it!"
