ESCONDIDO, CA
Aleks made the session super easy and the tattoo turned out great. Not only is he a good dude but he is super talented, diligent and has amazing attention to detail. I could not be more stoked on how the tattoo came out. I highly recommend going to Aleks. The guy does amazing work.
Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with my experience. More importantly, I feel like I have not only found a great artist but made a friend too. I highly recommend Alek if you’re looking to get a piece done in CA!
It’s blessing that I crossed paths with Aleks. I gave him an idea of what I wanted, and he brought it to life. His skill level is far above average. Very friendly, and professional. As long as Aleks is in California, I will be getting tatted by him. Do yourself a favor, and get a timeless piece by the man himself!

Every tattoo is unique, and so is the cost. Rates are based on the complexity of your design, the detail involved, your skin type, and the difficulty of the placement. Some areas — like the inner bicep — require more time and precision than others, such as the outer forearm. I select the size to complement your anatomy and ensure the piece flows naturally with your body. After reviewing your idea and placement, I’ll provide a tailored estimate.
No — I work exclusively by appointment to ensure that each client receives my full attention and the time their piece deserves. This allows me to focus on quality, creativity, and precision without distractions.
I’m fluent in a wide range of styles, including black and gray wash, color realism, and cover-ups — with additional skill in micro realism, fine line, traditional, neo-traditional, and Japanese. While I can create almost any style, my favorite work to produce is in cover-ups and bold blackwork. I do not take on culturally specific tattoo work such as traditional Thai or Polynesian designs, unless it’s to complete or refine an existing piece — which is priced at a higher rate.
Yes — deposits are required to secure your booking and begin the design process. Unlike many artists, my deposits are not just for holding your spot — they cover the cost of creating your original design. I approach each project as a one-of-a-kind artwork tailored to you, and design work starts as soon as your appointment is confirmed.
This is my exclusive design process, reserved for booked clients. I combine traditional drawing, modern 3D modeling, and advanced AI video creation to produce a realistic video preview of your tattoo on your body before the first drop of ink. It’s not an automated shortcut — each preview takes hours of precision work to ensure it looks natural from every angle and in motion. This process gives you complete confidence in the final result and allows fine-tuning before your session.
I work exclusively with professional-grade, industry-leading tools. For colors, I use World Famous Ink; for deep blacks, I use Dynamic Ink. My gray wash is hand-mixed from Dynamic black and distilled water for perfect tonal control. I tattoo with Bishop single-use cartridges — sterile and disposable — and my machine of choice is the FK Irons Flux, often called the “Ferrari of tattoo machines” for its unmatched precision, consistency, and smooth performance.
Arrive well-rested, hydrated, and with a good meal in you. Wear clothing that provides easy access to the tattoo area and allows you to stay comfortable throughout the session. After you submit your booking form, I’ll send you a Preparation PDF — complete with a pain chart of the most sensitive areas, guidance on numbing creams, aftercare essentials, and additional tips to make your experience as smooth as possible.
