​​​​About
​
From the moment I could hold a pencil, art has been the core of who I am. What began with colored pencil sketches of my favorite characters, animal portraits for loved ones, and custom-built playhouses for my Littlest Pet Shop pets, has grown into a lifelong journey of creation through drawing, painting, sculpting, and exploring art history.
​
I originally set out on a different path—starting college as an engineering major in Orlando, FL. But I quickly discovered that my heart belonged to the creative world, and I found my way to graphic design. After moving back home and earning my BFA in Minnesota, I knew my journey as an artist was far from over.
​
Everything changed when a close friend introduced me to tattooing. From my very first experience, I was hooked. Now, I'm proud to be working alongside an incredible team of artists at The Tattooed Lady, where I continue to explore realism, full color, and portraiture. I’m here to bring people’s tattoo dreams to life—one piece at a time.

TESTIMONIALS
"I chose Kelsey to do my tattoo. She was the first person I consulted with about my design. She told me up front that she was an apprentice. Kelsey has done a great job so far. There is some finish work to be done on my tattoo that she will do. I would recommend her to anyone, and would have her do more in the future. Thanks Kelsey for doing a great job."

"I’d give this one 10 stars if I could. This is the second tattoo I have by Kelsey. It is a very sentimental piece, and she designed it so amazing! Kelsey really takes her time and care with her art. The shop itself is always a great experience, and the artists are all so kind!"
