About Jordan Brill

Jordan Brill is a tattooer and co-owner of Starfolk Tattoo in Nashville, Tennessee- an forward-thinking tattoo shop specializing in the American and Japanese Traditional tattoo styles. He is best known for keeping the traditional characteristics of Americana tattooing while pushing its stylistic boundaries.

Jordan grew up living between Buffalo, NY and Xiamen, China where he was exposed to many forms of art including: comics, cartoons, watercolor paintings, and calligraphy. The readability, strength, and fun-loving approach of these art forms continues to influence Jordan heavily today.

Jordan’s flash paintings have been featured in projects such as: The Bright and Bold Book, The Keepers of the Faith book, American Traditional Tattoo Flash, and The One-Shot Book. He has also guest-spotted at over a dozen shops around the country to continue learning with some of the nation’s finest tattooers. Jordan also continues the historically handcrafted nature of Western Tattooing by building his own tattoo machines and making his own tattoo pigments as well.

Outside of tattooing, Jordan enjoys reading all manner of book, studying the Thai language, cooking, watching old Sci-Fi movies on his beloved VCR, and spending quality time with his wife Carli and his Olde English Bulldogge Porky.
