Independent Tattoo Artist

About

Alex Karman was raised in Minnesota, where flat horizons and brutal winters shaped a steady toughness that stayed with him. From early on, he resisted neat labels and tidy expectations, chasing the roar of engines, the permanence of ink, and the restless pull of the open road. He wasn’t built for conformity; he was drawn instead to rebellion, carving an identity rooted in grit, freedom, and the courage to live life without compromise or apology. He found his first lessons in garages, where machines demanded both strength and patience. Engines taught him to respect detail, while tattoo shops revealed a new world of artistry and defiance. The flash art on the walls caught his imagination, but the deeper draw was the culture — outsiders bound by stories, scars, and loyalty.
