We had the good fortune of connecting with Jesus A Alarcon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jesus A, why did you pursue a creative career?
I love to express myself through art and I had this talent since I was a little kid then started to discover more
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My artistic life wasn’t easy when I started everyone around use to say the I wasn’t gonna go no where with this false dream and it wasn’t a real thing to do for life or a living so I just kind of when out my lane for Bit but I keep going back to what I love to do so i diside to keep going just to see where I was getting to and I struggle a lot but thanks to god and my efforts and my wife ceci been there with me all the times we where on the struggle now we both thanks life for everything and after so much now I’m where I’m at tattooing for living and a professional way

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Tempe would be one of the areas I like going to the lake bars and restaurants
