Alex Faber

Greetings! I am Alex Faber! I am a genderfluid digital artist who has studied animation and illustration at Grand Valley State University! During late 2024 I was given the opportunity to apprentice under Alex Pollack in our Farmington Hills location! I am excited to be developing myself and furthering my own career as an artist here at Hive! Outside of my own practice for tattooing I am a digital character artist and fantasy map maker! I currently take commissions for character art, and details can be found on my Instagram! I greatly enjoy creating stylized pieces with macabre, fantasy, and whimsical tones! Feel free to DM me on Instagram for any questions/inquires on services!

Today I did my first tattoo! While like any artist I know there are places to improve, work on. I can say I am happy and proud that I have finally broken skin. I can’t thank Hive Tattoo Studio enough for this opportunity and place to grow. As w

What do you do when you’re sick at home? Create unhinged tattoo flash! Are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice!? 🦐 🍤 🍚 Debating creating a set of unhinged tarot, any ideas on what’s next? 🤔 . . . . . #shrimp #shrimpfriedrice #ash

Who else has been having a great time with Monster Hunter Wilds? I know Lala Barina has become one of my instant favorites. So I decided to dabble in some Monster Hunter Flash! More to come after this one! ⚔️🗡️🕷️🕸️ #monsterhunterwilds #monsterhunt
More fake skin practice! This time taking a crack at a piece for @garbagepepper. Can’t wait to do this someday! Until then, more practice! 💀🍄#tattooapprentice #tattoopractice #fakeskin
I love vampires, especially my head empty girlie Carmen. 🧛🏻‍♀️🩸🦇#characterart #dungeonsanddragons #vampire #dhampir
Still practicing on fake skin! I lost the stencil while working so a few parts are kinda rough. But I’m very happy with how it turned out overall! Looking forward for more to come! 🦑🫀👁️ #tattoopractice #tattooapprentice #fakeskin #eldritch
Most recent rose attempt vs my first attempt. Starting to see progress. A lot more practice to go.😤🤩🥀🌹#tattooapprentice #realism #tattooart
I love drawing fantasy characters! Another test portrait I had been playing around with that I meant to post a while ago. 😅 Feel free to DM about character commissions! I’m always looking for more practice! #characterart #dndcharacter #fantasy
