Ben Cheese is a tattooist and painter inspired by American traditional tattooing and Japanese Edo period wood block prints. His work consists of pen and liquid acrylic on watercolor paper and is consistently presented in long scroll style.

Some of the more popular artistic influences to him include Japanese artists such as Kyosai Yoshitoshi. Hokusai and Kuniyoshi. This reflects in his painting subjects which consist mostly of birds, flowers, and women.

Over his career, Ben has been featured in many collaborative books of tattoos and paintings and travels around America and the globe to work and paint with his peers. He can be found working in Berkeley at War Horse Tattoo.
