Alyx Drha (she/her) is a gothic queer tattoo artist and illustrator at Prickly Rose Tattoo in Calgary. Her work is a celebration of the beautifully dark and the unapologetically unconventional, finding beauty in the shadows and untold stories. Alyx specializes in macabre themes, monstrous women, and queer gothic romance, creating intricate, subversive, and deeply personal tattoos. Her artistry often features spiders, spectral figures, and evocative narratives, ranging from complex, highly detailed pieces to subtle, minimalist illustrations. Alyx is dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and collaborative experience, ensuring each design reflects her clients’ individuality and narrative with a gentle, affirming approach. As she puts it, “I love creating tattoos that celebrate the parts of us that are often overlooked or misunderstood. Whether you want to honour your inner monster or simply wear a piece of your story on your skin, I’m here to help you bring it to life.”
