A tattoo is a ritual steeped in tradition. Today it should be marriage between that tradition and new ideas and artforms.

History
2008
The idea
J. started tattooing in 2000. The art form has taught him that the art is a sacred ritual, a commitment and a collaboration between artist and client
Mission
The simple principal of treating clients the way I would like to be treated is tantamount. Fairness, friendliness and listening
As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition.A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye.
Artists.
Jay Esparza opened Resistance Tattoo in 2008, which has since expanded to include six other tattoo artists.
