Welcome to the Real Gone Blog
Consider this space your access point to the world behind the machines at Real Gone Denver.
This isn't just a portfolio page—it's our open blog, inviting you to step beyond the finished work and understand the intent and culture that defines our studio. Here, we dive deep into the technical demands of large-scale custom tattooing, share the philosophies that drive our crew, and connect with the broader community that supports serious collectors.
We're sharing knowledge and pulling back the curtain on the commitment required for this level of art.

Alex Larsen
There are artists who tattoo — and then there are the ones the streets talk about.
Alex didn’t claw his way into this industry trying to make friends or follow trends. He built a style that looks like his sketchbooks bled onto skin — color when the piece demands to scream, black & grey when the soul calls for grit, always stamped with that “don’t water this shit down” integrity.
