After 20 or so years of refining these skills, Jensen put them all to use in a special endeavor. In 1939, in Los Angeles at 412 S. Main Street, he officially launched what soon developed into an immensely successful tattoo supply business. Though well-manufactured, superior tattoo machines were his niche, flash, stencils, tubes, and inks, as well as complete tattoo outfits, later also entered his repertoire.
