About ME

 
 

I’m Kay*

a tattoo artist, writer, card game creator, event planner… overall, I am simply a creative who likes to try things.

My interests (and what you’ll find in my writing) centre a lot around philosophical ponderings, purpose, mental health, love, and how we make sense of it all.. or don’t.

*In a nutshell: I do a lot of things, I care about it all very deeply, and I exist in oscillation between living it and sharing it. Consequently, “balance in all things” is my favourite saying, and, a core value.

I’ve always had one foot in writing and the other in visual art. Music is my first love though and community is imperative to living a good life (to me!). When I was young, I played a lot of instruments and painted a lot of abstract art; inspired by and alongside my Grandpa. Now, I host a monthly live music event in Vancouver and I like to DJ as a hobby.

If you are intrigued, you want to get a tattoo, or maybe host a pop-up event with live tattooing, hire a writer, or book a DJ; even if you have some vague idea for something and you think I might be aligned or able to help in any way— I’d love to work with you.
