Behind the Ink.

Alexis Jimenez is a dedicated tattoo artist whose journey with ink began at a remarkably young age of 14 years old doing his first one out of a garage in California.

Born and raised in the small town of Livingston, CA, he has always been drawn to artistic expression. From the moment he could hold a pencil, he found joy in drawing—an instinctive passion that would shape the course of his life.

As he grew older, this passion evolved, leading him to explore graffiti, where he found freedom in bold lines, color, and form on unconventional canvases.

At just 12 years old, he began cutting hair, driven by curiosity and a desire to master hands-on skills. Though he left the clippers behind after two years, the experience sharpened his focus on precision and creativity—qualities that would soon serve him in an entirely new way.

At 14, he was introduced to the world of black and grey tattoos. The raw artistry and emotional depth of the style captivated him, igniting a spark that would change everything.

Inspired by his deep Hispanic roots and the vibrant spirit of Chicano culture, he found himself captivated by the timeless elegance of European statues and cathedrals. Together, these influences awakened a vision within him, one far greater than he had ever imagined.

That same year, determined and full of ambition, he ordered his first tattoo kit off eBay. In the small town of Livingston, he created his first tattoo in a garage—an unforgettable moment that marked the start of his lifelong journey in the art of tattooing.

Since that day, Alexis has fallen deeper in love with the process of tattooing. Each year has brought new challenges, growth, and inspiration.

His dedication, sharpened by experience and driven by an unrelenting passion, continues to define his work and fuel his evolution as an artist.

Today, he remains a student of the craft—constantly evolving, constantly pushing his creative boundaries. As he travels the world, he leaves his mark wherever he can—from walls to living canvases, a journey few could have imagined, yet one he walks with passion, purpose, and unshakable faith.
