Alpha Bett's Markers - James Tex

James Tex is a Canadian tattooer who has evolved his style of illustrative tattooing over the last few decades. James draws on and adds to designs with Alpha Markers to have his art fit and flow with the body properly. His art and tattooing is instantly recognizable and he continues to inspire clients and tattooers alike.

Alpha Markers came to be by answering a basic question: why is there not a premium marker for creating great tattoos? Something that's easy to remove or stays rock solid?

By drawing on skin you can give the flow and fit to body or space. BJ Betts developed these with methods that have worked for him for the past 2 decades. He hopes to put these markers in your hands, to allow your work to shine.
