Cleen Rock One’s Wiki Biography

Cleen Rock One, whose real name is James Steinke, was born in Illinois USA on 6 August 1977, so under the zodiac sign of Leo and holding American nationality – he became popular on the internet thanks to being a tattoo artist.

Early life and education

Cleen spent his entire childhood in Elgin, Illinois alongside his parents, however, he hasn’t shared any details regarding them with the public, as he prefers to keep them away from the media’s attention. As he hasn’t mentioned having any siblings, Cleen is believed to be an only child.

He had a rather normal childhood, and didn’t fall in love with tattoos until he was around 12 years old. He began seeing inked people in the streets every day, and as he was already good at drawing, he decided how he might as well try his luck with tattooing. He got his first tattoo at the age of 16, and as he needed parental permission, he persuaded his mother – although satisfied with it, Cleen didn’t get his second tattoo until years after. After he matriculated from high school, Cleen didn’t enroll at college, but rather decided to focus on becoming a tattoo artist.

Career of a tattoo artist

Cleen was 21 years old when he launched his career, and opened his own tattoo shop in Illinois. He was working every day without a day off, and steadily improving his skills to become recognized in his hometown.
