HEY THERE! 👋
As I'm sure you've read, my name's Alexa Lachuta and I'm a 30 year old queer tattoo apprentice based in the Slurpee Capital of the world -- Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 🍁
I have a lifetime of both art & art-adjacent experience under my belt, including both traditional and digital mediums; wet and dry mediums; graphic design; photography & videography; and video editing.
ever since i was young, i've been curious...
About cars, music, art, and anything else I could get my little hands on, but ever since I've been able to hold a pencil, I haven't been able to put it down for too long.
Things like Christmas art supply sets, Chapters trips to pick up the latest "How to draw manga" books, and the loving support from all of my family have allowed me to become the artist I am today.
and with growth, came many endeavours...
Back in 2011, I enrolled in Red River College's Digital Media Design program, soon graduating with honours and a certificate in 2D motion graphics & videography.
Oh, and I also play the tuba. His name's Sven! (yes, I still have him -- he lives in my mom's garage)
...and tattoos.
As soon as I was allowed, I got my first tattoo of a treble and bass clef heart, and then it was like rolling down a steep hill towards a portrait of my former cat, a whole Studio Ghibli sleeve, covering both of my hands, and so many more.
and now it's my turn.
Having gone through many odd-end jobs, a whole tech career, and a year back into art...
I'm now pursuing a career as a tattoo artist local to Winnipeg, MB, Canada.
Interested in saying hi? cus I'd love to hear from you!
I may be a Scorpio, but I promise I don't bite 😉
