Style: Illustrative Black & Red

Rali aka @ralkinz, owns XYZ Tattoo Studio, a private shop located in one of our favourite places - Montreal, Canada’s heartbeat when it comes to art, music, food and culture in general.  Now approaching her 10th anniversary as a tattooist, Rali started her apprenticeship back in 2016 while still working in feature animation. She made the move to tattooing full-time in 2017. 

Her style is a very bold Black & Red-based Illustrative style that we love so much, we asked her to create the artwork for our staff shirt this year… and she absolutely fucking killed it. 🙏

Like many of you, when she’s not at the shop, Rali can be found indulging in artsy hobbies like book binding, and hanging out with her dog (and maybe not so common, her parrot). Preparing for her later life as a babushka druid, she’s also known for hoarding tea and tea cups, and kicking back with a good book (that she may or may not have bound herself).

Thank you again Rali for banging out this year's Eikon shirt, and for all your support over the years. 🫖 Cheers!
