Kaitlin

My name is Kaitlin and I’ve been tattooing since 2011. I started out in a fast paced street shop in Buffalo, New York building my technical skills to wind up here, tattooing by appointment only with a great group of individuals at Primal Instinct. I have attended conventions and won awards, I have been published in a magazine, and been present at several continuing education seminars — but my real pride comes from the day to day and sitting with you. Creating a great tattoo for you, giving you a warm and comfortable experience, and support with aftercare is truly what is important to me.

My creative process is a bit different than most as I enjoy having a chat to feel around in the energies, verbiage, and emotions you may have in portraying the work you are looking for. With having 15 years of experience creating,

 I am in the flow regularly and my mind’s eye can drop pictures where I can see what I’d like to do. I then take those images, transferring them from my mind to my hands, into the world, and onto you.

I enjoy being versatile — from small stand alone tattoos, to one session several hour pieces, to large scale work — I love it all. When given the appropriate time, space, and energy to create, that is when I do my absolute best

 and feel my artistic gifts can really shine.

I am constantly inspired by my outer world and love to work with organic material in my art, but I am not beholden to those subjects and truly enjoy to do good, clean, readable work.

I hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know a touch about me and if you’d like to reach out, you can contact me by phone, email, or form submission here at tattoosbykaitlin@gmail.com
