If you're looking for a tattoo artist in Sydney who blends the elegance of traditional Japanese art with the playful charm of anime, Studio Ghibli, and pop culture icons, meet Alys—one of the newest resident artists at Thirteen Feet Tattoo, now working from our Newtown and Circular Quay studio for the next 6 months.
Hailing from Hertfordshire in the UK, Alys brings an exciting and distinct artistic voice to the team, with a portfolio that spans from flowing Japanese-style tattoos to colourful and whimsical designs inspired by Pokémon, Zelda, and other fandom favourites. Whether you're looking for a meaningful Japanese motif or your favourite animated character brought to life with flair and precision, Alys has you covered.
From Japanese Imagery to Nerdy Nostalgia
Alys’s passion lies in Japanese-style tattooing—think waves, blossoms, koi fish, and mythological figures—executed with strong linework, intentional flow, and a harmonious sense of colour. But what sets her apart is her ability to seamlessly switch gears: her work in anime tattoos, Studio Ghibli tributes, and nostalgic pop culture pieces is just as meticulous and emotionally resonant.
Whether you’re dreaming of a large-scale sleeve or a delicate micro tattoo of your favourite game character, Alys approaches every piece with heart, humour, and dedication to quality. Her ability to capture personality and detail in small or large formats makes her an ideal artist for first-timers and long-time collectors alike.
