BOLD LINES. FINE DETAILS. THOUGHTFULLY CREATED.

Image by Svenja M

IM KAIL,

I’m a queer, femme tattoo artist based in Austin, TX, specializing in fine line and American traditional tattoos.

With a background in design and creative strategy, I approach tattooing thoughtfully — from composition and placement to how your tattoo will age over time. Every piece is custom-drawn and created collaboratively, whether you’re coming in with a clear vision or just a general idea.

I care just as much about how a tattoo is made as what it is. Clear communication, intentional design, and a calm, consent-first experience are non-negotiables for me — especially for queer folks, femmes, and first-time tattoo clients.

If you’re looking for work that’s personal, well-executed, and made to last, you’re in the right place.

flip through my flash book

A virtual flash book is a collection of pre-drawn designs based on what’s inspiring me at the moment.

These pieces are first come, first served and offer a chance to get a piece of art from me — permanently. Flash is perfect if you’re feeling ready for a new tattoo, need a little inspiration, or want to choose something that already exists rather than starting from scratch.

You’re welcome to claim a design as-is or use it as a starting point for something custom.

MY LATEST WORK

I feel inspired by...

I’m inspired by the world around me, the artists I interact with every day, the rich history of tattooing, and most importantly, my clients — the ones who trust me with their personal ideas and stories to create pieces meant to last. There is always that moment at the end of a session when someone looks in the mirror, lights up, and reflects on their new piece of art. That moment is everything and more.

GETTING TATTED?

GETTING TATTED?

Tattooing doesn’t need to feel intimidating.

I work by appointment only and guide you through the process from start to finish. We’ll talk through your idea, placement, and timing. Whether we are creating something completely custom or you are getting some of my pre-designed flash pieces, I'm here every step of the way.

To get started, choose the option that best fits your idea:

  • Booking Request - Perfect if you aren't sure where to begin or are wanting something small or straightforward

  • Consultation - Best for custom ideas, larger projects, or anything you want to talk through

  • Flash Piece - Directly book flash piece of your choice
