With the current sensitivity of TeV gamma ray telescopes only a handful of extragalactic sources have been detected. The size of the emission region implied by the hour-scale variability observed in the TeV emission from Mkn421 and Mkn501 is typically 100 times smaller than that probed by Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations. However, VLBI observations provide the only means of imaging the parsec-scale jet being ejected from the core. Here we describe VLBI observations of reported TeV gamma-ray sources and the inferences that can be drawn on the jet behavior between the TeV variability-scale and the VLBI milliarcsecond-scale. .
