100 Candles Tattoo is Jhon Rodriguez's studio in downtown St. Albans, on the third floor of the American House building. Work is built around clear line work, strong composition, and color that's meant to hold up for decades.

Jhon opened his first shop in Bogotá, Colombia in 1996 and spent 17 years building a reputation there before bringing his style through Miami, Florida, Portland, Oregon, and eventually to Vermont. He also guests at shops outside Vermont from time to time, announced on Instagram.
