Alex Prequel- Tattoo Artist
Ciao from Chicago — the city of wind, skyscrapers, and bold clients searching for truly unique tattoos. I’m Alex Prequel, a Chicago Tattoo Artist known for Abstract tattoos, Watercolor tattoos, Light-Realism, Asian-fusion pieces, and Brushstroke designs.
If traditional tattoos are a perfectly organized bookshelf, my style is the bookshelf after a creative tornado — chaotic , deep , colorful, romanitic ,dark passionate and still somehow very elegant.
Since moving to Chicago, I’ve learned three important things:
1 – Chicago winters require layers, strategy, and maybe a survival guide.
2 – Deep-dish pizza is less a meal and more a structural engineering challenge.
3 – Chicago has some of the most creative and fearless tattoo clients in the world.
People often tell me, “Alex, your tattoos look like a painting that escaped the canvas and moved onto my skin.” And honestly? That’s exactly my mission. My work blends movement, texture, and bold color so each piece feels alive — whether it’s a watercolor koi fish, a brushstroke dragon, or an abstract, emotion-driven custom tattoo.
If you’re searching for a custom tattoo in Chicago that’s expressive, vibrant, and guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind — something you won’t find in a flash book — you’re in the right place.
Bring your boldest ideas. I’ll bring the pasta.
Let’s create something beautifully and absolutely unforgettable together.
