Jehan is a tattoo artist working at North SF, located in San Francisco.
The foundation of Jehan’s work begins with sound and the study of cymatics. She uses water to turn audio frequencies into physical patterns. The resulting patterns are a captured vibrational wave, an imprint of a singular moment in time. No pattern can be recreated in exactly the same way, making every piece unique to each individual.
Inside a tattoo practice where audio frequencies become permanent works of art.
Before a tattoo by Jehan reaches skin, it exists as sound. Using water, audio frequencies, and a self built cymatics setup, she transforms vibration into physical patterns that have become the foundation for her designs. Every piece begins with a specific frequency, creating tattoos that are as much recordings as they are artwork.
Jehan’s practice occupies an unusual space between sound experimentation and handmade craft. The process is rooted in cymatics, the study of visible patterns produced by sound vibrations. Working through Ableton Live, she records and maps those patterns so each design can be traced back to the exact frequency that generated it.
