Jeff Kozan
CONTACT INFO:
Jeff Kozan is a Palm Beach County native and proud resident of Delray Beach, Florida. His tattooing career began shortly after high school when he started a formal apprenticeship at the world-famous Tatts Taylor’s Tattooing in Fort Lauderdale.
After years of dedicated training and mastering his craft, Jeff and a partner embarked on a journey that became Vatican Tattoo Studio. Over the years, Jeff and his carefully selected team have built a strong reputation for quality, professionalism, and respect for the timeless craft of tattooing.
Jeff specializes in large-scale Japanese-style tattoos and is an award-winning artist highly regarded in this genre. However, his skill set extends beyond that—he’s also well-versed in portrait and traditional tattoo styles, bringing versatility and artistry to every piece.
When he’s not putting in long hours at the studio, Jeff enjoys relaxing at home with his wife and children. He’s a fan of fine top-shelf rum, classic reggae and punk music, and he spends his downtime restoring his 1953 Chevy Bel Air, carving tikis, and cheering on his beloved Miami Dolphins.

That`s all she wrote.
The books not over....
Just a new chapter.
As I sit here at the old shop, reminiscing, after making tattoos here for the past 10 years, it`s a pretty somber feeling. Im excited for what lies ahead, and grateful for the amazing times and absolute magic that has been created in this building. But regardless, I`m still a little sad to go.
Life is wild and unpredictable, but Im once again going with my gut. It has worked for me thus far, gotta stay the course. As hard as leaving comfort can be.... the excitement and energy of a new shop, new building, and new location is what I think I`ve been missing.
I needed a new challenge. I needed a new goal.
So far, I`ve met it.
Is it fate? I dunno. Maybe. Manifest destiny?!? Possibly. All I do know, is that im incredibly fortunate to have the people in my life that push me, and support my crazy dreams and goals. Without them, none of this would be possible.
I love tattooing, probably too much at times. But one this is for certain, it has provided. Both good and bad, but whatever is neccessary at the times they`re needed. Tattooing can raise you up and boost your ego, or crush you down and humble you real quick. It gives you what you give back. You just have to listen ....
I look forward to the future, and the new ABSOLUTE MAGIC that we will share with the world, at Vatican Tattoo Studio.
TATTOO FOREVER
See y`all next weekend, at:
271 NE 6th Ave. Delray Beach Fl. 33483

The time has come....drumroll........
Vatican Tattoo Delray is RELOCATING!!!
After 10 amazing years in Pineapple Grove, we are moving on. The new location in just 4 blocks away, on 6th Ave.
Bigger, cheaper, cooler, and better driving traffic. It was meant to be. Free standing building, built in 1950, with style for miles, and our own parking lot.
We will keep all of our clients in the loop as far as when we are officially in the new place. We couldn`t do it without all of you. We look forward to making more solid tattoos, and great memories in our new location!!
Stay tuned to my page, as well as the @vaticantattoodelray
Page for updates.
TATTOO FOREVER
