Guy Aitchison has been tattooing since 1988 where he apprenticed in Chicago at Bob Olson's Custom Tattooing. He began as a professional illustrator, painting album covers for small-label heavy metal bands in the eighties, and brought much of this graphic experience into tattooing. Combined with his other myriad influences, including comic art, modern and Renaissance painting, psychedelic art and computer graphics, his style has evolved into the distinct look that today's tattoo fans are familiar with.
