Recent Work

Loon Calls is Alena (she/they), a tattoo artist who thinks queer people deserve to feel good in their bodies and reclaim their skin with playful, textured, illustrative, nature-inspired, and identity-affirming art. Pulling from a love of printmaking, ink and pen drawing, and painting, their work balances bold design with the raw, deliberate imperfections of both nature itself and handmade art. Expect bold shapes, contrasting textures, and a heavy dose of whimsy, done with machine or handpoke. If you’re looking for art that feels hand-stamped, intentional, joyful, and queer, you’re in the right chair.
