Alchemy Tattoo Los Angeles Guest Artists for August
August Guest Artists Alchemy
We’ve got a bunch of killer guest artists coming through Alchemy Tattoo in Silver Lake, CA this month from some of the top traditional tattoo shops in the country.
Eric Ayala
Coming from Downtown Tattoo in Las Vegas, Eric Ayala specializes in the bright and the bold. His flash sheets are straight out of the old school with tigers, ladies and flowers galore. Of particular interest is Eric’s ability to breathe life into animals from butterflies to tigers. There’s just enough detail there to make them pop without overcomplicating the design.
Catch Eric at Alchemy Tattoo in Los Angeles August 12 and 13.
Shawn McDonald
The first of two artists coming through from American Standard Tattoo in Fort Collins, CO, is Shawn McDonald. His work is firmly rooted in the American traditional tradition, with a heavy emphasis on Japanese themes and influence. There’s a tension between the beautiful and the grotesque in his work that we really dig.
Shawn will be at Silver Lake’s Alchemy Tattoo from August 20 to 23.
Joe Van Amber
Joe Van Amber is our second artist from Colorado’s American Standard Tattoo for the month of August. One thing that really stands out about Joe’s work is the coloring — if you’re looking for something that really pops, come see Joe.
Joe’s here from August 20 to August 23.
Bryan Randolph
Finally, we’ve got Bryan Randolph from the legendary Spider Murphy’s Tattoo in San Rafael. Bryan’s color work is killer, but he also knows his way around a black-and-gray piece. In fact, we love how he uses black in color pieces. In addition to traditional, he does amazing geometric and dot work tattoos.
Come check out Bryan from August 24 to August 25.
