Jesse McGrew was raised in Chula Vista, CA. He left taking a gamble on Las Vegas and made a life as a tattooer and piercer. He was mentored by Angelo “Kidd” Mayfield and started his apprenticeship in early 2010 at Fox & Hound Tattoo inside the  Stratosphere Hotel and Casino.

His apprenticeship only lasted 8 months as he excelled quickly with tattooing and piercing. This is an unusually fast period of time for a mentor to approve a student / apprentice, but many years have passed under the bridge since.

Jesse’s favorite styles are American Traditional and comic / cartoons. He prides himself on clean, bold lines and solid color. Giving his clients a great experience and making them feel comfortable are important values for Jesse and something that he always strives to do.

He has been in the industry for 9 years and has many more ahead of him. He is ego free but comes loaded with personality.

He has worked as a body artist and lived in Las Vegas for almost 10 years, now working at both LV Tattoo downtown and here at Prestige Tattoo and Blade.

Marley Turner is from New Orleans – Louisiana.

My mother use to always keep me focused on art and always tell me this was my gift and talent,  and she taught me to never give up because everybody loved my art skills..

In 2005 I was 15 years old and  the year of hurricane Katrina –  we had to evacuate to Houston TX and lost everything, but 2 years later I was able to move  back to New Orleans. In 2008, I moved to Lake Charles, Louisiana and my first child was born Deandre turner, he’s now 12 years old. That was around the time I had nothing to think about but responsibilities and proving for my son. In 2010, my 2nd child was born, Andrea – she’s now 11 years old. I am very proud of my two children.

I was deep into my thoughts I had time to think about what I use to do growing up then I seen tattoos seems like a good idea to do but didn’t know the basic steps of it. I got my first tattoo machine for $30 and I began to practice, but it wasn’t working out as I thought it would – but that didn’t stop me from going after the knowledge of tattooing

I never had a traditional  apprenticeship because artists never had no time for that unless you pay them so what I did was talk to all types of artists and made the subjects about what I was looking for to learn and I moved around to the next artist listening to everything I was looking for to learn.

They were teaching me parts without even knowing it, so I took all the advice and put it all together, and made my own style long as I learned how to stick and all the other things that come with it. I was practicing with the same routine for 5 years before I decided I was ready to do this. I was practicing like as you learning how to fall before you skate in the middle of those 5 years of practicing 2013 Nov 11 my 2nd baby girl was born.

I was able to get my own tattoo shop in 2017 after listening to people who had more knowledge who was doing tattoos before my time. Throughout the beginning of my tattooing 2017 jul 14 my las child was born Marley turner I was living in a town called Dequincy Louisiana where the tattoo shop was located I didn’t have any name for the shop so I named it TattoosByMarley after my son name and it worked perfectly.

I continued there after to succeed with doing freestyle tattooing and realism tattooing for 3 years doing appointments only private sessions tattooing .

In early 2020 Hurricane Laura hit lake Charles Louisiana – second time I have been displaced by a hurricane. And just like before, everybody was forced to evacuate and I lost everything including my shop.

So I took the advice I kept praying like always I went to Texas to see what I can restore it wasn’t working out as good. Another hurricane was coming so I had family in Las Vegas calling for me to come to Las Vegas to see what I can do out in Vegas so I had no other choice but to take my talents to Vegas. I made it to Vegas within a week I went out asking about tattoo shops a couple ppl directed me into the right direction to Las Vegas Tattoos in Fremont street. I go there talk to the lady at the door showing her my work she immediately said wow your work is awesome.

She called the owner/boss by the name of Derrick I shows him my work he gives me a call sends me to get license and put me on around an awesome team treated me like family I’m loyal to the shop because I lost a lot and my talent is all I was left with.

For this opportunity I make sure I put on my best work to the clients I Ben getting good compliments my first week at the shop and more Instagram followers. I plan on staying constant continuing taking care my family and growing from here and making Las Vegas my new home for me and my kids to continue a better life.

I go by the name Marley because I believing United people peace and love so it’s easy for me to deal with customers on any level of communication while doing tattooing and let people have freedom of speech

I listen to Bob Marley at the age of 8 years old and grew up a fan ever since then I do a lot of self-learning and spiritual praying for ppl and myself love is my religion I keep most high almighty GOD in front of anything I do..

I love music art and communication with all ppl I love learning something new everyday to keep me going and keep my creativity alive and balanced to move forward in life..

I plan on getting better and better with time and skills increasing I learned to be a good business man raised with my father Anthony Washington teaching me the Business of all money is not good money one of the reasons I know how to deal with the right people and do good business.

Shop owner note – Marley specializes in freestyle tattoos and is one of the best proponents of this style we have seen in along while.
