VANCOUVER, BC — @PAINBUTMAKEITART

a tattoo artist.

Hey, I’m Kay.

I'm a Black and Indigenous multi-disciplinary creative — In the tattoo world, I work on skin the same way I work on everything else: with intention, care, and a whole lot of feeling. Reclaiming space in the tattoo industry by emphasizing I specialize in dark skin. Based in Vancouver but I do travel for guest spots so stay tuned to find out if I’ll be in a city near you.
