"I feel genuinely blessed to have found Kelsey for my half sleeve. She thoroughly listened to my goals, took notes and photos of my references. She was beyond patient during the placement/creative process and enthusiastically adapted when I brought up addition ideas during our multiple sessions. I have been complimented many times on the detail and quality of my tattoo, which is fairly impressive being in such a tattoo saturated community. Any additional work I ever receive will be done by Kelsey, and I recommend her to anyone who wants a high quality and personable experience."

"Kelsey is great! After my last tattoo artist moved away I had to find a new one and I was so happy to find her! Easy to work with and made sure I was comfortable. I will definitely be going back for more work."

"Kelsey is an amazing tattoo artist. As a neurodivergent individual, my favorite experience, in addition to her quality work, is her kindness, openness to collaborate, and willingness to sit in silence while watching my favorite film/show. She's done my sleeve in tribute of mental health awareness, and I look forward to future projects with her. I would recommend her to any and all of loved ones."

"I've never been someone that was loyal to a particular artist. Always been more of a shop around for what I want kind of person. That is until I got tattooed by Kelsey. Now I don't even want to waste my time with anyone else. She listens, adjusts, and brings all of my ideas to life in better ways that I could have even imagined. Her work is clean, beautiful, and heals well. On top of her stunning work, being tattooed by her is a wonderful experience. No pressure, no anxiety, she's responsive and intuitive to any pain, and I've never once felt taken advantage of when it comes time to pay, which I unfortunately cannot say for many of my tattooing experiences over the last decade. She's a great artist and a lovely person."

"Kelsey is by far one of my favorite people I’ve ever had the opportunity to be tattooed by. Every single tattoo she’s done for me has healed incredibly well, she works so hard on each design, and the effort put into each experience. She’s very knowledgeable and truly cares about each piece she works on, and the way it heals. Not only is she a kind person, and makes each session comfortable, her art is incredible. I’ve come back 4 times for different pieces and have an upcoming appointment scheduled that I’m beyond excited for. I feel so grateful to have found Kelsey and plan to continue coming to her for many tattoos. I’ve come to her with just ideas and she has been able to bring them to life on my body in ways I didn’t even think were possible! I have only amazing things to say about her and her work and would trust her with my most special designs and ideas!"

"Omg Kelsey is the best. This was the best tattoo experience I’ve had and I couldn’t recommend someone more creative, patient, kind, and willing to bring your ideas to life in the most amazing way. The details, the fine lines, and highlights on my tattoo are perfect."

"Kelsey was extremely accommodating. She listened to me ramble about my design ideas, and shared her own thoughts to gain clarity and improve the design. The artistic process felt very collaborative. I had the idea, but Kelsey had the experience and expertise to bring it to life. The tattoo itself was easier than expected. Kelsey had a light touch, while still packing plenty of color and boldness into the piece. What remains is what I consider one of my favorite tattoos on my body! I'll definitely return for my next piece."

"Kelsey is an incredible artist. She is kind, passionate about her work, and precise in her technique. I’ve had both an original design and a rework of an old tattoo by Kelsey and am blown away by her talent. Her eye for fine line work and small details is so impressive. I plan to go to her for all my ink going forward and can’t wait for her to design the rest of my half sleeve! Her pricing is also very reasonable for the area and for her skills. I could not recommend Kelsey highly enough!"

"Kelsey's skill as an artist and her ability to take her client's words/thoughts and translate them into artwork is truly incredible. I have gone to her for several pieces of work, and I've had all kinds of things rattling around in my head going in. Kelsey was able to take those scattered thoughts, connect them all together And design something that far exceeded any hopes I came in with. I would sincerely recommend her work to anyone at all and especially someone who has ideas they need help getting translated into high quality art."
