Lee Atkinson (they/them/theirs) is a queer multi media artist and DIY tattooer from New York.
Their tattoo practice is centered around airy line drawings of sweet, nostalgic, soft images, and they place a large emphasis on the reclamation or creation of oneself through body modifications.
“Although best known as a DIY tattooer, Lee Atkinson is an accomplished printmaker whose artworks — on paper, canvas, and skin — anatomize the comforts and discomforts of keeping a home, a body, a life. Atkinson’s sense of place reflects their upbringing in upstate New York and subsequent schooling at SUNY Purchase, with all the birds, powerlines, cattle and roadkill you’d encounter on a windy drive through Orange County.” -Matt Moment for Times Union.
