A San Diego native, James Rader has planted some deep roots in America's finest city. Before co-owning Revolution Tattoo with Gabriel Mata, James earned his dues studying the art and history of tattooing during his two-year-long apprenticeship. Early on it was evident that James had a natural gift, coupled with an unbreakable work ethic, he quickly carved his name into the world of tattoo. With years of experience now under his belt and an impressive return rate on clientele, you can expect nothing short of an exceptional tattoo, and probably even a few laughs.
