Kate

Hi, I'm Kate!

I am a tattoo artist specialising in fine line and naturalistic designs. I'm particularly drawn to fauna and floral subject matter, with a soft spot for the more unusual side of nature (think insects, butterflies, and salamanders). I love capturing delicate details and showing appreciation for the creatures usually overlooked.

I began my tattooing journey in 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa, where I first learned the craft. Before learning to tattoo, I completed a degree in Fine Arts at the University of Cape Town. Over the past four years, I've travelled between South Africa and the UK, working in a variety of studios and continuously developing my style. I've recently made the move to the UK full-time to focus on building my career and creating a strong, loyal client base.

Tattooing, for me, is as much about connection as it is about art. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories, and I'm incredibly grateful for the trust my clients place in me to create meaningful, lasting pieces.

Throughout my journey, I've had the opportunity to guest in numerous studios, learning from talented artists and mentors who have played a huge role in shaping my work. I'm always working on improving my skills, constantly researching new ideas, exploring different styles, and finding inspiration in the world around me. While I specialise in fine line and naturalistic tattoos, I'm open to a range of styles and have a particular love for bold American traditional work as well.

If you'd like to chat about an idea, learn more, or make a booking, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out via my social media. I look forward to connecting and creating something special together!
