With 8 years of experience, Alex specializes in photorealistic black and grey. Making a reality of her dream career, despite the hardships, has become one of her biggest accomplishments. But she overcame that doubt with determination, perseverance, and an eagerness for success.

She is highly decorated in 1st place awards from tattoo conventions far and wide. She has graced television screens, red carpets, countless tattoo magazines, and has earned a name for herself in the tattoo and television industry. The success of that opened the doors for her to co-host “Ink Master Angels,” which aired for two seasons on Spike Tv and Paramount Network. Simpson was a feisty participant on Season 8 of Ink Master and made a name for herself in the competition. In the following years, Nikki grew her skill and moved on to traveling the country full time, frequenting guest spots and tattoo conventions, until finally she relocated permanently to New York City. She was trained by a traditional apprenticeship, focusing on the bold, long lasting fundamentals of tattooing. She began her career in 2011 in Tucson, Arizona at the early age of 19.
