THE ARTIST
Liam Alvy
Liam Alvy is a multidisciplinary artist who's spent years pushing bold, traditional tattooing in his own direction. He owns Tattoo Days in St. Ives, a studio he's built for both tattooing and painting.
His work weaves animal imagery with classic Americana and skate culture influences, resulting in striking, graphic pieces with bold colour palettes. Whether the medium is skin or canvas, the result is unmistakably his.
"If I’m not tattooing, I’m painting. If I’m not painting, I’m probably outside, I just try to live my life. I do what I want to do." - Liam Alvy

Crawling Tiger – by Liam Alvy
