I can’t say enough about @alexc.tattoos and the team at 22 Tattoo Company. Alex was my go-to artist before he moved. He did three of my tattoos right out of his apprenticeship, including my quarter sleeve, and they are still as vivid and perfect today as when he first did them.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Alex Caldwell for over 10 years, and I can honestly say he is one of the most talented and genuine people I’ve ever met. His tattoo work is consistently outstanding—clean, detailed, and truly customized to each client. You can tell he puts real thought and care into every piece he creates.
Beyond his skill as an artist, Alex is just an all-around great person. He’s professional, easy to talk to, and makes the entire experience comfortable from start to finish. Whether you’re getting your first tattoo or adding to a collection, you’re in great hands with him.
