kind words.

  • I couldn't be happier with the tattoo I got from Kristen! I brought in an idea featuring sunflowers and monstera leaves, and she absolutely nailed it. From the moment I told her my vision, she took the time to listen and offered great suggestions that made the design even better than I imagined. The details in the sunflowers and the way the monstera leaves flow together are absolutely stunning. The shading work is top-notch, and I really felt like she brought my idea to life in the most beautiful way. Not only is Kristen talented, but the whole experience was so comfortable and professional. I’m beyond excited with how it turned out!!! can’t wait for my next one!

  • Kristen was incredible! From spending the time with me to sketch exactly what I was hoping for to executing the perfect tattoo, I highly recommend her!

  • Kristen was so worth the 2 1/2 hour drive to get to her studio. She is thoughtful in bringing your vision to life. I highly recommend her.

    Joan K

  • Such an amazing artist, as soon as I walked in I felt so welcomed. Kristen is so kind and I felt so comfortable especially as a very quiet anxious person. Thank you again :)

    Maggie K

  • This is my second tattoo, first tattoo with Kristen. I am impressed with the quality of her work- painless, calm, open to collaboration, and absolutely no pressure or rush when it comes to finalizing a design. I will be returning to Kristen for my next tattoos and would recommend her to anyone looking for a fine line tattoo style!

  • I have immense gratitude for being earthside at the same time as Kristen. She has gentle, warm, and creative energy. Collaborating with her to create a meaningful piece that incorporated drawings from my daughters was my favorite tattoo experience of all time. The attention to detail and her ability to seamlessly weave the drawings together brought me so much joy. She also completed matching pieces for my best friend and I. I travel from the Atlantic side of Massachusetts to Buffalo to have my work done and look forward to my next trip out. I would recommend Kristen to anyone!
