For many years Jason Saga has been and will continue to be one of my favourite tattooers, his gentle spirit and cheeky demeanor always made getting tattooed and working with him a great pleasure. I have over 40 hours of work from Jason on my back, it is and always will be my favourite tattoo. And I am proud to be among the other thousands of people who also carry Jason’s art on their skin.
My experiences with Jason have taught me to have a strength, patience and courage within life and tattooing, he was always someone I considered a peer and who’s advice I took with the upmost sincerity.
Yet as serious as he could be about tattooing, he would always have a smile on his face, he would always be able to make you laugh and he was always the source of light where ever he was.
I hope that he finds peace and the love everyone has for him the world over gives him strength, like he gave so many of us in our lives with him.
My heart goes out to his family and his wife, he was a true friend and great man, I am proud to have known him and considered him a friend.

I’m so shocked and saddened to hear this. Jason has been tattooing my boyfriend and I for about five years. He always made a few cheeky jokes and shared a beer. His work on me is unfinished, but beautiful. To say that he made a mark on our lives is an understatement. Rest in peace J.

I have both sleeves and my back done by Jason Saga. I have about 50 -60 hours work by him.
I just can’t stop thinking about this, and I feel sick when I think of the great loss of him.
I am honored to cary his work forever, his art lives through so many people. Goodbye friend.

I went to school with Jason and wish I had hooked up with him more after. A gentle soul and someone who will be greatly missed. RIP Saga
