Hi! I'm Katie...
With nearly 20 years of experience in graphic design and illustration, my journey has always been rooted in creativity. From children’s illustrations and company branding to monsters and marketing, my love of custom artwork naturally led me to tattooing, a passion that fuels my soul every day. At Wildewood Ink, I bring together fine detail, imagination, and intention to create unique tattoos that tell a story.
I love connecting with my clients, hearing their journeys, and transforming those stories into art that feels personal and alive. Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me with my family, soaking in nature, gaming, haunting as a scare actor in the spooky season, collecting far too many figurines and bind boxes, indulging in movies, roller coasters, and far too many sweet treats. All of these joys and quirks fuel the passion I bring into my work - creating tattoos that are detailed, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
About Your Experience
At Wildewood Ink, every tattoo begins with your inspiration. Your ideas are the heart of each design, and the studio’s role is to help refine, shape, and bring that vision to life.
Some projects require a consultation, scheduled by appointment, while simpler pieces may move directly to booking. A booking form is completed before scheduling, giving you the chance to share anything that helps tell your story - sketches, reference photos, color palettes, or text (checked for spelling). If you have a budget in mind, that’s helpful too, as details like size, intricacy, and color all influence pricing.
On the day of your tattoo, the focus is on creating a memorable, respectful, and comfortable experience. Each step of the process is explained so you know what to expect, with care taken to ensure you feel at ease throughout your session.
When your tattoo is complete, detailed aftercare is reviewed - because healing is just as important as the tattoo itself. Proper care ensures your design, a living piece of art, lasts beautifully for years to come.
Walk-ins are welcome when time allows, though availability is limited. Calling ahead or reaching out is the best way to confirm openings for your design.
Wildewood Ink is a tattoo only studio and does not offer piercings.
