Meet KC
Some people find art later. I never got the chance to lose it.
Ask my family and they'll all tell the same story: if there was a surface in our house, I had already drawn on it. My sister's baby bed. The walls. My own arms, more than once. I wasn't trying to be difficult — I just could never come up with a good reason to leave a blank thing blank.
That never really stopped. It just found somewhere better to go.
Tattooing is the version of that instinct that finally made sense to me. Someone brings me something they love — a story, a person, a season of their life they came through — and trusts me to put it somewhere permanent. That's an enormous thing to hand another person. I've never once treated it casually.
The stories you carry
If your to-be-read pile has its own shelf, we're going to get along.
Bookish and romantasy tattoos are where my heart is. Fae wings and folded petals. Dragons, constellations, thorned roses. The single line from the single book you still think about at two in the morning. Celestial work, botanical work, black-and-grey with soft gradients and linework fine enough to look pressed between pages.
You don't have to explain the reference to me. You don't have to justify wanting a sigil from a world that doesn't technically exist — I promise you it exists enough. Bring the annotated copy. Bring the sticky-tabbed paperback. Bring the board with forty saved images and no plan whatsoever. We'll find the thread together.
I work in plenty of other styles too, and I love a good floral or a clean piece of script for its own sake. But if you came here because someone in a group chat said "she does book tattoos" — yes. She does.
How we'll work together
Here's what I care about most: that you feel heard.
Your opinion matters at every stage, not just at the start. If something isn't sitting right, say so — while it's still a drawing, while it's still stencil, while we can still change it. I would genuinely rather redraw something four times than put a piece on you that you're quietly unsure about.
Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want, down to placement and size. Others arrive with a feeling and a color palette. Both are completely fine. Half of what I do is drawing; the other half is listening closely enough to figure out what you actually meant.
A chair you can relax in
Tattoo shops haven't always been easy rooms for women to walk into. I know that, because I've walked into them.
Mine is different on purpose:
- Bring someone. A friend, your sister, your partner — whoever makes the room feel easier.
- Ask anything. No question about the process is too small or too obvious.
- Say stop. Any time, for any reason, and without explaining yourself. We break as often as you need.
- Placement is your call. I'll tell you what works artistically and how it'll age. Then it's your body and your decision.
- No pressure to go bigger. Or bolder, or sooner. Your first tattoo doesn't have to be your biggest one.
Everyone is welcome in my chair. I just want the people who've felt uneasy in a tattoo shop before to know exactly what they're walking into with me.
A short list of things I won't do
- Hate symbols, or racist and discriminatory imagery. Ever, under any framing.
- Intimate or private areas.
That's the whole list. Everything else — let's talk about it.

At the end of it, tattooing isn't really about putting ink on skin for me. It's about making art with someone, earning the trust it takes to do that, and handing them something they'll carry for the rest of their life.
I'd love to make something with you.
