MEET THE ARTISTS

Alicia "Bee Rock"

Alicia is an Owner/Operator of Rock Central, and comes from a family full of a variety of artists, writers, and musicians. From early on Alicia was attracted to anything artistic, with a lot of her initial interest in the arts being led by abstract and surrealism work. In 2011 she began her tattoo apprenticeship under the mentorship of our very own Johnny. His experience & guidance throughout has been instrumental, and the driving force to keep pushing and encouraging her abilities and skills to be able to continue to grow. Unwilling to plateau, she loves taking on new challenges and pushing herself to continue developing new skills all the time.
