World renowned tattoo artist Jun Cha has unveiled a video to accompany the launch of his MONARC Studios, located in Downtown Los Angeles. The private studio will serve as a congregation space for tattoo, fine art, and design creatives — allowing these artists to collaborate on projects. Jun Cha started tattooing at the age of 16 and has delved fully into the art ever since. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance and Baroque classical periods to post-war era paintings, his work often features religious imagery, with Venus de Milo and the Goddess of Nike making appearances in this video. Check out the Social Trust-directed video above, and head over to the MONARC Studios website for more information.
