Jessa Bigelow – Co-Owner & Tattoo Artist

I’m Jessa Bigelow, co-owner and tattoo artist at Gallery of Ink in Harrison, NJ. My journey in this industry began at 18, working my way up from cleaning and assisting customers to pursuing my passion full-time. Now, at 32, I’m incredibly grateful to be tattooing every day in a studio I co-own with my husband—building a space where artistry, creativity, and self-expression thrive.

I’ve been tattooing professionally since 2012 and have loved every minute of it. Tattooing is so much more than just my career—it’s my why. It keeps me balanced, constantly pushes me to evolve, and allows me to connect with people in a way that’s both personal and artistic. I specialize in black and grey, blackwork, fine line, dotwork, and full-color tattoos, but I’m always open to exploring new styles and techniques.

Gratitude is at the core of my career. Without my clients, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and I approach every tattoo with appreciation and dedication. I see this craft as a lifelong journey—one of learning, growing, and refining my artistry with each piece I create.

I love meeting new people and helping bring their ideas to life. Whether you’re considering your first tattoo, adding to your collection, or just have questions about the process, I’m always happy to help.
