“I got a tattoo yesterday from Katie, who is an incredibly talented artist, and I’m still blown away by the experience. I came to her with an abstract idea (more of a feeling and a loose concept than anything concrete and within just a few days she transformed it into something beautiful, intentional, and completely aligned with what I had imagined and honestly, even better). I appreciated her honesty on what wouldn't work while expanding on my original scattered ideas.

While getting tattoos aren't exactly a comfortable experience, and they're definitely not for everyone- I've spent about 75ish hours under a needle at this point, so I don't say this lightly: this was the most at ease l've ever felt during an appointment. From the moment I walked in, she created an environment that felt calm and welcoming. She checked in frequently, offered breaks without hesitation, and used thoughtful comfort measures throughout the session.

If you're looking for an artist who is inclusive, kind, attentive, fair, and genuinely cares about your experience, not just the final result, Katie is it. On top of being incredibly skilled, she's also someone you can comfortably chat with for seven-ish hours, which matters more than you think during a long session. I truly can't recommend her enough.”

“Katie is truly a talented artist. We're currently in the process of creating the most magnificent, fine-line botanical sleeve. Katie takes the time to lay out the pieces and creates flow, working with the curvature and anatomy of the body. Our sessions have been easy to sit through, and I always feel comfortable discussing ideas and sharing my opinions. I'm constantly getting asked about the pieces Katie has created, they really are next level. Ten out of ten recommend Katie to anyone looking for a professional tattoo artist who's able to see your vision and bring it to life!”

I've spent quite a few weeks in and around Asheville after hurricane Helene. I went to the studio right at noon when they opened and Katie welcomed me in. I showed Katie what I wanted and gave her free reign to change up what she thought would be best. It started off as a simple mountain range and then turned into an amazing side piece that will forever bring back memories. She is an amazing talent that has over a decade of tattooing experience and it shows. Definitely book an appointment with her, she's also very easy to talk to and plays the best music.

“Working with Katie was (hands-down) the best experience I’ve had with an artist. Her line work is killer, and she was great about understanding what I was looking for. She’s a kickass person and extremely talented in what she does. I was in Asheville for work, following the hurricane. As a result: my favorite tattoo, and I love being asked about it now.”

“Katie was very active in listening to what I wanted, responded to my questions, demonstrated hospitality and provided good conversation and professional feedback/opinions to help me make the best choice (while of course caring about my own opinion first). Check out Katie’s work. I am beyond satisfied and recommend!”
