Alex

Originally from El Paso, we are now proud to have Alex as a resident tattoo artist at our San Marcos location.  A tattoo veteran, and master of multiple tattoo styles, but most renowned for his smooth black and grey realism tattoos.

How long have you been tattooing professionally (in a licensed shop)?
I’ve been tattooing professionally for about 7 years now.

What inspired you into the art of tattooing?
I've always drawn, since a kid.  In adulthood, I graduated with a degree in in graphic design which really helped expand my creative process, putting images together, and to create designs that flow beautifully on the skin.

Tell us about the preferred style of your work
My preferred style is black and grey realism/surrealism. But I’m fluent in all styles.

What inspires you as an artist?
What inspires me as an artist is seeing peoples reactions to their new tattoo, Whether it’s a small tattoo or a full sleeve I love seeing how happy they are to get my artwork on their bodies for life.

Why should someone pick you for their next tattoo/to be their artist?
I’m hoping someone would want me as their artist because they value quality artwork, I listen, I care about the details, and I won’t stop until the piece looks perfect on their skin.
