Thanks for being here

I’m Kay, a Black and Indigenous tattoo artist in Vancouver, BC. I approach skin as a canvas, creating tattoos that embrace all skin tones.

Alongside tattooing, I am a multi-disciplinary creative— writer, creator of Intrigued, and event curator. Building community through art and storytelling.
