aka @kthomato

Tattooer and illustrator based out of Redwood City California. Originally from Chicago, one of the best cities in the world.. but the weather is horrendous so I’m now one of those annoying Cali transplants.

I began tattooing in 2009. I’ve worked at shops that were very different from each other and made amazing connections and irreplaceable skills along the way. Now I’m super happy to exist in my private space and create a calm welcoming inclusive environment.

Specializing in natural flowing pieces that compliment the body. My personal tattoo aesthetic is self described as illustrative realism. I’m open to lots of ideas and putting my own twist on them to make something beautiful.

Due to a finite amount of time available, I strive to only take on projects that I feel fit my skillset. If your idea isn’t my bag I’ll be happy to refer you to someone I think will knock it out of the park!

Love tattooing nature themes - birds, bugs, plants, animals, mushrooms, etc. Also love gamer, sci-fi and cartoon tattoos. You want Yoda riding Appa flying out of a hobbit door framed out by florals? I’m your gal.
