KATY
Cosmetic Tattoo Artist
Katy brings a fine art foundation to every face she works on. She holds a BFA with a concentration in drawing and a deep focus on anatomical study—training that shows up in her precision, balance, and eye for detail. Her background includes museum and gallery exhibitions, teaching artist roles, and time as a gallery assistant, all of which shape her thoughtful, art-forward approach.
Since joining Feather & Blade in 2018, Katy has completed two cosmetic tattoo apprenticeships, earned 10+ certifications, and performed over 3,000 sessions. She specializes in microblading, ombré brows, lip blush, and areola repigmentation—services where technical skill meets genuine care.
Katy is known for her intuitive use of color theory and her collaborative spirit. She believes the best results come from truly listening, and the connection she builds with each client is at the heart of her work.
Outside the studio, Katy’s creativity doesn’t slow down—you’ll find her painting larger-than-life portraits, flipping old boats, or running wild in the woods with her dogs.
