Loss

On Easter Sunday we found out that the wonderfully talented tattooist Jason Saga had passed away. I didn’t know Jason that well myself, but Madge has been seeing Jason for over two years, and proudly wears two beautiful and vibrant Japanese half-sleeves created by him. Your relationship with your tattoo artist is a very special one, as it is essential you build a connection. They were just starting to plan a large Hanya back piece, and I can remember Madge coming back from his appointment and telling me how excited and keen Jason was to start working on it.

Hearing about Jason’s sad and untimely death has left a shadow over our week, and only now has the sense of shock and disbelief begun to lift a little. Our hearts go out to all of the people who knew and loved Jason and everybody who’s life he touched. His legacy lives on with every person that carries his ink.
