2021-2025
After a move to Cleveland Ohio in 2020, Alyssa explored fine-art while working as a museum gallery-guard. By 2022, however, she was giving up on art as a viable career path entirely and made a return to working in retail. While there, a simple conversation reminded her of her roots…
Alyssa started getting tattooed at the age of 18 and has shown her artwork in tattoo galleries around Pittsburgh Pennsylvania throughout college. Passionate about the art form, she began to apprentice as a tattooer in 2023. Almost 2 years later, she is officially a journeyman of the trade and creating tattoos weekly.
