Guru Tattoo & Zero Skateboards Present:
Alchemy
"The convergence of skate culture and transformative artistic expression"
With Special Guest Jamie Thomas
August 24th 2025
3pm-9pm
See over 100 talented artists and their Art Skate Boards that were at this years show!
We were proud to present "Alchemy," an innovative art show brought to you by Guru Tattoo in collaboration with Zero Skateboards. This event embodied the fusion of skate culture and impactful artistic expression, showcasing how tattoo artists and other creatives could transform skateboards into stunning works of art.
Following our last art show, "Commitment III," which featured striking 7-foot tall bodysuits, Alchemy offered something unique and fresh. San Diego’s deep-rooted skateboard history—home to some of the earliest skate parks and a thriving community—set the perfect backdrop for this celebration of art and skate culture.
The event brought together over 100 talented artists and filled the day with live music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, creating a vibrant atmosphere that captured the true artistic spirit.
You can now view the boards from Alchemy on our website, with many available for purchase.
