With more than 25 years of professional tattooing experience, Jon von Glahn has built his career around creating highly detailed custom tattoos that are meant to stand the test of time. His work has been featured in dozens of international tattoo publications and recognized at tattoo conventions throughout the years, long before social media became part of the tattoo industry.

 

Brass Hook Tattoo is Jon’s private, appointment-only studio in St. Bonifacius, Minnesota. It’s a little different from your typical tattoo shop. No crowded waiting room, no revolving door of artists, and no distractions. Just a private, one-on-one environment where Jon can focus on you, your ideas, and the tattoo.

​

Jon is best known for large-scale custom tattooing, especially black and gray realism, biomechanical and bio-organic work, and bold color pieces. He loves projects with room to breathe, whether that means a full sleeve, a back piece, or a tattoo that takes multiple sessions to bring to life. Every project is approached individually, with a focus on composition, detail, and making the finished tattoo feel like it belongs to you.

​

Whether you’re from Minnesota or traveling to get tattooed, Brass Hook is built for people who want more than just another tattoo. It’s a private studio centered around great artwork, good conversation, and an experience you’ll actually remember. After all, if you’re going to spend hours in a tattoo chair, you might as well have a good time while you’re there.
