Karilyn Alex is a lifelong artist, who commenced her work in drawing and painting. From there, she began transitioning her delicate stylized realism onto skin, and started tattooing in 2018. She finds inspiration in expeditions, nature, fashion and arboretums which translates directly into her love for tattooing florals, animals, jewelry and lady faces. In 2024, she opened Nova Luna Studio, a private tattoo atelier that provides space for her to create, design and further develop her craft.
