Jens Gander was born in St.Gallen, Switzerland in 1982. His prime passion was always drawing and doing art in different techniques.
Starting with graffiti in 1996 he registered for arts & crafts school „Schnitzschule Elbigenalp“ from 1998-2002. In the next decade of experimenting with airbrush, acrylics / oil
painting and other decorative art techniques he worked some years as a sign writer. In 2012, he started tattooing. Coming from the most short-dated art form graffiti, to the most sustainable art
of tattoos, was a game changer in his life, as he describes it. Tattoo brought together all his different styles, from lettering to characters and beyond. Since 2021, Jens Gander is co-owner at Pepe Tattoo in Wattens.
