Lex Petroff is a tattooer from the west coast of California who now calls Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii her home. Tattooing has been a part of her life since she was a teenager and the life long influence of tattoo culture is ever present in her work. She tattoos in a range of styles like traditional, fine line black and grey, lettering and portraiture. Classic tattoo designs and the history of tattooing are present themes in her work as well as the beauty of her surrounding environment, figures from myths and symbolism also make frequent appearances in her tattoos.

Her personal work is naturally illustrative and focuses on themes that explore one’s perception of reality. She finds deep inspiration in the way in which we treat our body as a temple and how the adornment of our bodies with artwork is a reflection our inner world and our relationship to the world and those around us.
