"I got my first tattoo from Alena, and I've been hooked ever since. She's done my entire half-sleeve, and I genuinely love every single piece. Her work is incredible, and I can't imagine going to anyone else - she's like my artist for life.

— ZURI WATSON
“I had the honor of working with Alena on a deeply personal half-sleeve memorial piece for my father and brother. From the moment I walked in, I felt safe and cared for. Her workspace was spotless and everything was clearly sterile and done by the book. I have complete trust in her ability to run a studio with high standards of safety, artistry, and care. She deserves this opportunity, and any client would be lucky to be in her chair."
