It’s been 13 years since JK5 picked up his first tattoo gun and shit done changed. He’s an established artist with his hand in everything from art shows to working on a new clothing line, but due to a series of events, he is thinking of putting his bread and butter down for good. He fucked up his coccyx in a skydiving accident and all the years of bent over drawing and tattooing have left him with a herniated disk and therapy three times a week. However, he has bigger and better things to tend to. He is taking time off to work on his script and hatching a multi-faceted campaign for brand Jordan which includes sneakers, print and books. With his eyes on the prize, his future is looking brighter than one of his characters.

“I had the gift of knowing Heath and him opening those doors for me forever. He was the portal into that whole world and I’m going to nurture that till it all happens.”
