Jesse Najera was raised in Northern Virginia where he studied different media as a fine arts major. Focusing on realism and surrealism, Jesse challenged himself with different forms of art to expand his creativity.  He utilizes acrylic paints, charcoal, airbrush paint and a variety of pencils and markers for the works appearing here on view and elsewhere.  A professional tattoo artist and the owner of Old Town Ink in Alexandria, Virginia, Jesse also makes his creations come to life with tattooing ink on skin.   
Widely known for his “all style” tattooing techniques, Jesse’s schedule frequently books to capacity for months in advance with patrons traveling great distances to receive his artistic services.  He specializes in full color surrealism as well as the popular trend in simplistic fine line single needle tattoos.

“Art is my passion and to be able to share with you this gift is a true blessing. I hope to inspire and motivate you to take a look at how beautiful art can be, how it can change your mood, your mind, and maybe even your perspective in life. The magic that art holds is amazing! I’m excited to share this magic with you and hopefully it attracts you to connect with me spiritually through such a beautiful thing we call art.”
