Time to talk exfoliating! Artists talk about it, but what is exfoliating, why should you care, and how do you actually do it?

Who else is psyched about TS12??!?

It just so happens that I have two appointments available on The Life of a Showgirl's launch date! And how could I pass up the opportunity to do a lil listen party with a fellow Swiftie during their appt?

Book a predrawn tattoo design, or let me create something custom, just for you!

Hi! I'm Kara, and I'm a nerdy tattoo artist. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
MY WORK:โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
My work is super colourful and illustrative, and my fave thing in the world is dinosaurs! I also love to tattoo pop culture stuff, Pokemon, flowers, cute animals (usually with hats), and anything with rainbows and glitter! โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
MY MISSION:โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
It's my mission to create exceptional experiences, to work with care and compassion, and to create an inclusive space where people of every gender, orientation, skin type, and ability can experience tattooing. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹I offer colour patch tests to folks with darker skin as part of a long term study of colourful tattoos on melanated skin.
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
MY STUDIO:โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
I opened my own Private Studio in downtown Nanaimo at the end of 2024. The studio is a labour of love; a colourful, vibrant space that is fully accessible (yes, the bathroom too!) and can be customized to accommodate most any need.
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
GUEST SPOTS: โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
I work in Victoria monthly at , and at in Vancouver 1-2 times per year. All of the shops I work at are q***r owned and safe for all folks to visit, which is a top priority for me. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
If you have questions about me, my work, or anything, I welcome DMs and emails. If you're looking for an appointment, I have booking forms in my bio link. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
