"I am working more days now. I used to work more nights and weekends, but more and more people have flexible work hours with the pandemic. I can go to my step-daughter's soccer practice now," said artist Matt Stephens, who works on a tattoo of roses on Drew Willhite Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2021, at Alchemy Tattoo Collective along Cherokee Street.

Recently we were blessed with some great coverage in publications. We are so honored to be recognized and heard by our city!
First, we were published in an article by the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Our artists were excited to share their perspectives about how the pandemic has affected the tattoo industry. We also had the pleasure of welcoming The Post’s photographer to our shop, and our photos were used throughout the article.
Shortly after the Post’s publication, we were featured by online magazine VoyageSTL where we went much deeper into the meaning behind our work.
Thanks so much, St. Louis, for making us feel like what we do matters!
