Alex Oddhouse

Alex got his first tattoo machine in 2007, but only did a few tattoos a year for the next few years. He was painting a lot of graffiti at the time and that was his main focus, along with illustration work.

He eventually started taking tattooing seriously in December 2012, and got his first residency in a shop. He spent five years learning his craft doing street shop tattoos, before eventually finding his niche doing sci-fi and comic inspired designs. That's when it really popped for him, and he was able to start doing guest spots in other countries, as well as around the UK.

Alex is doing a lot of graffiti at the moment too, but absolutely loves tattooing and wants to do more of it. He’s got a cracking sense of humour and doesn’t take himself too seriously -“we’ll all be dead soon so there’s no point in stressing it” - so you’ll be guaranteed to have a laugh whilst getting a pretty special tattoo, so book in with him now!
