Previously at Silver Door Studio in west campus, Aliza joined Queer Audacity ATX in September of 2025.

Originally from North Carolina, Aliza has been drawing since they were in-utero. They came to Austin in 2020 and began learning the art of tattoo in 2021 after being gifted their first tattoo machine.

They are known for stark, stylized designs, often featuring sharp edges and unexpected shapes. Aliza’s work spans from freaky creatures, to abstract ornamentals that are high-impact and bold.

In addition to their bold designs, Aliza also enjoys working with stipple, and grey washes for more delicate customs.

Aliza loves art, but they are also is passionate about the outdoors—enjoying camping as well as gardening. They have a playful sense of humor the balance with excellent professionalism.

Aliza’s great.
