Artist Profile
GLENDALE, ARIZONA _________________________________
Kriter also known by Jarett has been with us for roughly 5 years of his 7 year tattoo career and we are honored to have him as a part of our family. He is born and raised here in Arizona but he travels with us to expos and does guest spot in LA a couple times a year! ( Heyyy CALI!) You probably know him for his insanely clean custom lettering and fonts, but he also has some of the nicest pepper shading we have seen. That’s not the end though, He is really looking to add more black and grey realism to his portfolio this year, so if you are interested in being a portfolio piece, let us know! Kriter has a crazy attention to detail when it comes to his tattoos, we don’t call him Krispy Krit for
no reason after all. Known for letters of all kinds, from the ankle to on the face, its going to be an amazing piece, if you are considering getting any lettering done in the near future, please take a look at his work and see if you see something you like!
