Jimmy Maria is the owner and sole employee of Cross Keys Tattoo studio in Reading, Pa. In 2012, he obtained two degrees in the visual arts from nearby Kutztown University and uses the foundational skills acquired during those studies to inform his tattooing practice, which began 5 years ago at Lucky 13 Tattoos and Piercings.
During that time, he worked tirelessly to develop an aesthetic and was blessed to hone his craft alongside some amazing other artists and friends. Jimmy recently opened a private tattooing studio to maintain his discipline at the Goggleworks Center for the Arts, the new home of Cross Keys.
