About Alexan

Alexan has been tattooing since 2013 and takes pride in providing quality tattoos to every client. As a resident artist at Andromeda Tattoo, a leading tattoo shop in Ballston Spa (near Saratoga), Alexan brings years of experience and a love for bold, vibrant work.

He has the ability to tattoo almost any style but prefers New School, anime, pop-culture-inspired projects, American Traditional, and black and grey realism. Alexan is known for color palettes that pop with vibrancy and pieces that balance detail with impact. Clients often trust him with full artistic freedom, including freehand marker drawings directly on skin before tattooing.

He is also capable of creating impressive cover-ups, depending on what is being covered and the client’s flexibility with design and style.

Because of his dedication to craft and innovation, Alexan has earned recognition as one of the best tattoo artists in Upstate New York. Clients from across the region visit Andromeda, recognized among the best tattoo shops in Upstate NY, to work with him.

Alexan also travels whenever possible for guest spots and tattoo conventions.

When you book with Alexan, tipping is never mandatory but always appreciated. Other ways to tip include: Pokémon cards, Nintendo merchandise (especially vintage), movie or video game props, or anything nerdy and pop-culture referenced.
