Alissa Hewison
Alissa Hewison of Aliss Inks Wonderland in Saskatoon (a Bear’s Skin Art Alumni/ previous apprentice) Inspired by Crayola and driven by her active imagination, Liss spent her youth, much to her parents dismay, doodling on the walls, floors, her clothes and everything else within reach.
Liss, moved to Saskatoon after graduation and collected a plethora of educational adventures, spent some time at the local tattoo shops working towards her career and after a series of serendipitous events found herself in Edmonton to start a 5 year stay at Bear’s Skin Art Tattoo. Liss spent her time learning under Bear and gaining knowledge from the other artists at the shop that she had the pleasure of working with during that time
Liss loves doing colour work as well as black and grey and always loves trying and learning new styles and concepts. She is very excited to be part of the XSK9 project tattoo event! Call today, to book time with Alissa for Sunday November 5th.
