Apprentice matt lepchuk

I started my apprenticeship under Ashley Gray in May 2025.

A lot of my work is inspired by American and Japanese traditional tattooing. My interests in hard copy media, turn of the millennium technology, and old sailor tattoos are all present within my art style.

As of November I have started taking on my small custom flash and only charging a supply fee of $25!
