Jen Trok’s name has come up several times on this site as the tattoo artist behind various designs. She had a few moments to spare at Speakeasy Tattoos and I asked her if she had any Chicago flag tattoos herself.
CFT: You were just saying, you grew up in the suburbs.
Jen: My parents grew up in the city and then I moved to the city right after high school and then I’ve lived here since. I never lived anywhere else. So I love the city. It’s not perfect but I’m probably never going to move away.
I got this with the anchor just because my parents always had boats growing up and I sort of decided it was my family crest. So now my family has a tattoo.
CFT: So you started it.
Jen: Yeah. Even though my parents have tattoos, they don’t have this tattoo. Scott Fricke did it for me. I guess when you’ve been tattooing for 13 years, it’s not like a lot of planning. You know, I mean there is but it’s like the same thing as for everybody else. You have a consultation when you go in and then get the tattoos.
CFT: Awesome. Thanks.
