Tattoo Artist:
Lauren Alexandra

Lauren has been tattooing since 2013, starting her two year apprenticeship in 2011. She attended UC Santa Cruz for science illustration, but always aspired to tattoo. She eventually apprenticed under Brad Schneider and Ryan Breceda at 454 Tattoo in Encinitas, California. There Lauren was taught how to successfully render tattoos in all styles. Most well known for her pin ups and animals, she truly enjoys any subject matter in any style.

Through tattooing she has worked all over the country and out of the United States as well. When she was invited to work in Asheville she fell in love with the area and made the decision in 2022 to make the move here. She loves supporting the community and what tattooing can add to it.
