Jason Stein has been tattooing professionally since 1996. His work features bold imagery with an emphasis on flow and how the design will complement the body. He takes inspiration from a wide range of artistic styles including Art Nouveau; traditional American and Japanese tattooing; and botanical and scientific illustrations, as well as classical fine art painting.
The CJM’s Gallery Chat Program is made possible by Maribelle and Stephen Leavitt.
Public Programs are made possible by the Koret Foundation and The Al and Rosanne Levitt Fund for Public Programs.
Lew the Jew and His Circle: Origins of American Tattoo is organized by The Contemporary Jewish Museum. Sponsorship is generously provided by Maribelle and Stephen Leavitt, Joyce Linker, and Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery.
