And he would not shy from telling you just how he felt. He will be remembered for his great generosity, always willing to give his last dollar. He was smart and witty with a great sense of humor who could always make you smile. Alejandro had many moments of brilliance where he created beautiful pieces of art some permanently placed on those lucky enough to call him friend or brother. He wasn't just a great tattoo artist, he was an amazing painter, and a cook. Food, art, music, extreme sports those were his passions. He surfed the streets on his skateboard and tickled the tree tops riding BMX. Always looking to go faster and higher. He was a member of St. Paul's Catholic Church in Mission, and an ACTS brother.
