Art that stays with you.

Black and grey realism and illustrative work by Kipling. Original designs, an honest process, and a room where you'll feel actually heard.

About

About

I've been obsessed with art for as long as I can remember — the kind of kid who stayed up after everyone else was asleep just to draw. Art was always my escape, and somewhere along the way it stopped being a hobby and started feeling sacred. Now I tattoo. Black and grey realism, surrealism, and a neo-artistic style I've been developing that lets me blend emotion with experimentation.

I finished a psychology degree at the same time I was apprenticing full-time. Chaotic, beautiful, exhausting — and worth it. The piece that pulled it all together was studying abroad in Italy. Being completely immersed in centuries of art cracked something open in me. Not long after, I met UK-based artist Jak Connolly, who saw what I was making and told me to take it seriously. So I did.

Every tattoo I do is a collaboration. You bring me your idea — I put my spin on it and create an original piece you'll see for the first time the day of your appointment. I work in Midvale, by appointment, and I want you to feel seen, heard, and stoked about your design before the needle ever turns on.
