Katie, tattoo artist

Katie

Co-owner · Tattooing for 10+ years

Heyo, I'm Katie! I'm a half-Canadian, half-Kiwi tattoo artist tattooing in Victoria, B.C.!

I have over 10 years of experience tattooing and enjoy doing a variety of styles, small or large. I'm passionate about creating art that my clients will love and bringing a smile to their face. Most of my work is custom designs for clients, but I enjoy doing my own designs as well.

I'm interested in anime/manga, video games, music, nature, art, and current events. I'm happy to chew the fat or lock in depending on client preferences.

Get in touch for a free consultation to see what I can do for you!

Morti

Co-owner · Tattooing for 4+ years

Hey there, I'm Morti c:

I have been tattooing for a little over 4 years now, and I work in a range of styles, including surrealism, stipple/dotwork semi realism, neo and Japanese traditional, personal handwriting, and fineline.

I have fond memories of being a client before my tattoo career, and I strive to create a warm and fun atmosphere resulting in the same memories for my own clients.

In my spare time, I like to watch 80's horror films and various documentaries, cook new recipes, go beachcombing, and dabble in various other art mediums.

I offer a variety of piercings while specializing in feminine 18+ and ear curations. Since I began my piercing career in 2017, my goal has always been to provide a calm and sterile environment that is comfortable for every single client who comes in for piercing or jewelry styling services.

My jewelry selection has been hand-selected and it continues to grow each year.
