Meet the Artists

Sly The Fox -
Sly Williams

A curly-haired artist works intently in a creative studio, showcasing hands-on skill that parallels tattoo craftsmanship.

Sly Williams is the founder of Studio Hero. His work pulls heavy from comics, anime, and manga—bold lines, sharp details, and characters that actually feel alive.

Whether it's a full-on sleeve or a tight, story-driven panel, Sly’s tattoos have a strong voice and zero filler.


Midnight Velvet Ink - Alyshia

A tattoo artist in black gloves tattoos a client’s arm in a cozy studio filled with framed art and shelves.

Alyshia is a Sacramento-based tattoo artist who got her start apprenticing under Sly Williams. She specializes in fine-line black and grey work, often adding soft color for depth. Her style pulls from anime, video games, nature, and mystical themes—clean, detailed, and full of quiet strength.

Ask her about her dog.
