a little history

Tattooing since 2006, Kristi began her journey in Delaware, spent 12 formative years in New York City, and is now based in Philadelphia with her chihuahua Sprinkles and cat Vince.

She specializes in illustrative, ornamental, fine line black & grey, and traditional styles. Her favorite subjects to tattoo are inspired by nature and fantasy—floral motifs, mythical beings, and all things magical and strange. Influences include nature walks, renaissance faires, train rides, and a deep love of fantasy and horror films. Birds, bugs, toads, and other curious creatures often make their way into her work.

For her, tattooing is more than just a job—it’s a way to help people reconnect with their bodies, process pain in a safe space, and feel good in their skin. Known for her light hand and gentle approach, she strives to make each session comfortable, supportive, and deeply personal.
