Getting a tattoo is a lifelong commitment and can be an emotional journey. Alchemy Tattoo Gallery's beautiful, safe and calming atmosphere made it a magical experience 🌙
HyeSook did such an amazing job on both our tattoos in her clean, private, colourful + very kawaii room! Her creative eye, attention to detail, pinpoint placement 🎯 and steady hand let us know we were in the hands of a skilled professional!
...and asking her to tattoo 5 perfect, identical circles was a tall order - not an easy task - but Hyesook did it perfectly!
Amy has assembled a creative professional team and we couldn't be more excited to support another small business of skilled creatives here in Elgin
Thanks!

Alchemy Tattoo & Gallery is truly a dream and a pleasure to visit. The studio and gallery itself is such a calming and blissful environment to be in. There are so many beautiful things to look at, from each individual artists studio that has their own personal touch, to even the bathroom that has been beautifully decorated - everything about this space is enchanting.
I’ve had 2 sessions with Paige, who is an absolute angel. She is extremely accommodating, kind, and just fun to be around. I’m obsessed with my tattoo that she did, and I can’t wait to come back for more!
As a woman/femme/queer person, I’ve never felt so comfortable and safe in a tattoo shop. I love everyone and everything about it here. Thank you Amy, Paige, Hyesook, and Percy for all that you do!
