Meet Alex,
A junior artist and the elder Emo auntie you didn’t know you needed, here to make your tattoo dreams come true. They started apprenticing part-time in 2022 and have been on skin for over a year.
Coming from a family of artists, it's no surprise that Alex would pursue a career in the arts; what may come as a shock though, is despite being artistically inclined and constantly creating since they were able to hold a crayon, Alex feared it was unrealistic they’d make it as an artist! So, they went on to earn a degree in Office Systems Technology with a specialization in Micropublishing and Hypermedia.
Despite trying out many creative outlets, including; custom clothing printing/embroidery, painting murals and business branding, it was clear that tattooing was calling out to Alex, with much of their work clearly influenced by the styles of tattooing they loved. Fast forward to now; Alex has refocused their energy on chasing the dreams they once decided were too impractical and has found their footing tattooing an ever-growing community of supporters who proudly wear Alex’s art.
While they are always excited to experiment in different styles, much of Alex’s work is influenced by trad/neotrad staples, with a common theme of subjects/icons borrowed from movies, music and literature they love. A recurring motif in Alex’s work is the use of softer accents like flowers and pastel colours, in juxtaposition with decidedly “darker” imagery like skulls and weapons. They aim to spotlight the complexity of the human identity by taking typically contrasting subject matter and creating an unusual visual harmony, playing with the duality of masculine/feminine, dark/light.
Alex loves working with their clients on custom pieces, but with a brain that never shuts off, is always churning out flash! Follow their tattoo journey or reach out to them on Instagram @BloodMilkAndHoney
