Get To Know Alex Damgaard

What is your favorite tattoo brand?

Kwadron! They have been a loyal friend in the industry from day one. Always top class equipment.

What are you passionate about besides tattoo’s and art?

Time besides tattooing? Maybe in another life. The things i am passionate about besides tattoing, are things that make tattoing more availbe or accesable. So healths plays a big deal in this game! An example: Ive built a sauna and icebath in my garden only with the intention to boost my healt so i can tattoo more. Thats how i think and how i strive to acheive my goal of becoming the top artists in the world

How did you get to be a tattoo artist?

By being a shitty carpenter! Just kidding, but i was honestly properbly the worst apprentice availble. So you can guess how long that lasted before i got kicked out of that industry.

The best experience the tattoo world has given you?

The oppertunity to build a life around my work. Tattooing took so much of my time, so after some years i accepted that tattooing and the business around it basicly was my whole life, and not just a work i started to slowly optain laser focus about what i wanted, and how to get it.

Favorite tattoo style, and the worst tattoo style for you?

Realism. Surprise! Ive always loved realism, and dont think i will ever grow tired of it. I dont really have a style i dont like. The history and evolution of each tattoo style is so interesting to me. So i kind of end up honering the grand masters, and the whole process that is needed to create new styles.

If you weren’t a tattoo artist, what would you be doing for a living?

I would be self employed in some other way. I see creativity as creation. Creating a business and a life around it, is at least as fun as the aspect of creating a tattoo. So i would without doubt had found another fun way, to make a living.
