Custom Blackwork Design
A considered blackwork piece shaped around your idea, placement, and personal style.
A More Personal Way to Wear Meaning
I begin by exploring the concept, references, and feeling you want the tattoo to carry. From there, I develop a design with strong structure, intentional negative space, and texture that supports the subject rather than overwhelming it. Stippling, etching, and shading are used selectively to create depth and a distinctive blackwork finish.
The experience is collaborative without losing artistic direction. We discuss scale and placement carefully so the design works with the natural shape of your body and remains visually balanced over time. You will have space to ask questions, refine the direction, and arrive at a piece that feels personal, clear, and confidently yours.

How It Works
Share Your Idea: Tell me about the concept, references, placement, and scale you have in mind.
Shape The Design: I refine the composition and choose the blackwork techniques that best suit the piece.
Tattoo Session: We review the final direction before I create the tattoo with careful attention to detail.
I am Kat, a tattoo artist focused on bold, considered work with a strong graphic presence. My approach combines careful composition with technical control, using contrast, texture, and clean detail to create tattoos that feel distinctive rather than generic. I take time to understand the idea behind each piece and shape it into artwork that suits the body and the person wearing it.
Blackwork is where my eye for contrast and texture comes together most naturally. I use stippling, etching, and layered shading to build dimension within a limited palette, whether the design is intricate, symbolic, or confidently minimal. Clients can expect a thoughtful process, clear communication, and a finished tattoo with visual weight and character.
