Alex or @ink_byap has always been an art enthusiast ever since he was a child. During his childhood, Alex grew up drawing cartoons and characters in his free time, just for fun but, his love for art transformed into something bigger as he grew older, and he began to go to tattoo shops, with his father, and watch him get tatted. At that moment, the first time he watched his father get a tattoo, Alex knew that becoming a tattoo artist was his passion. He continued to practice drawing in his free time and read everything he could, to learn more about the tattoo industry.
In July of 2018, Alex took a leap of faith and and began his journey as a tattoo artist. He completed his apprenticeship at Skinlab, learning and practicing in the skills he required to safely create beautiful tattoos. After years of practice and determination, he has become a fully licensed tattoo artist.
When Alex isn't at the shop, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends. As well as, exploring different types of art and learning about different cultures. You can find Alex at Electric Hive Tattoo & Inkporium on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday through Saturday.

Born in Chicago, "E", (yes, the letter E) has been infatuated with any kind of artwork since he was a child. In his spare time, E was constantly doodling, drawing, sketching, painting, tagging… you name it. Anything to improve his skills.
In 2004, E started a formal apprenticeship at an award-winning shop, Wolf’s Fine Line, in Illinois. While apprenticing, he learned the correct techniques to sterilize his equipment, the proper use of equipment, and the art of tattooing. Since the start of his apprenticeship, he has been tattooing daily which fuels his desire to push his ambitions and artistic abilities past the limits.
In July of 2009, E had the opportunity to assist in the opening of a clean, sterile shop, Skinlab. This venture was a success which gave E the opportunity to continue to grow his skillsets and talents while allowing him to build a larger following. Though E never limits his creativity and looks forward to all types of work and challenges, his favorite and most notable works are new school cartoons and flowers.
In 2022, E decided to step it up to the next level and opens Electric Hive Tattoo & Inkporium which fulfills his lifelong dream of having his very own studio. E and his girlfriend have worked tirelessly at making this a reality. They are excited to see what the future holds.
When not at work, E is living life to the fullest with his girlfriend and their dog, Frank enjoying their many hobbies and pastimes. There’s never a dull moment when around this guy.
