about

Aleki Manu, known artistically as “Leki,” is a multidisciplinary artist based in West Valley City, Utah. Inspired by his older brother, Leki was introduced to the world of graffiti at a young age and grew up immersed in the vibrant Graffiti and Hip-Hop scene. His creative journey expanded to include turntablism, reflecting his passion for urban culture and self-expression.

Eventually, Leki transitioned into the tattoo industry, where his artistic talent flourished. Together with his wife, he co-founded several businesses, including their flagship tattoo studio, “Artsy By Nature.” Over the years, Leki has had the opportunity to tattoo minor celebrities, professional athletes, Olympic gold medalists, and fellow artists who have influenced and inspired his own creative path.

One of Leki’s greatest aspirations is to continually refine his technical skills while using art as a platform for social and conscious expression. For him, creating isn’t just about aesthetics—it's about connection, culture, and community.
