I am MaoRita Jones, and I believe that each tattoo is a living tapestry, weaving together the threads of personal stories and cultural heritage. Growing up amidst the vibrant art scene of San Francisco, I learned to see the world through a kaleidoscope of diverse influences and traditions, which I now channel into my work as a Tattoo Anthropologist.

With every design I create or analyze, I aim to preserve the beauty of human stories, one inked masterpiece at a time.
