Kaylie Powell
Artist
Kaylie has always had a passion for art from a very young age. She’s a self-taught artist who wrote and drew comics for several years with some of her work being featured in print. In 2014 she discovered a love for acrylic painting and worked as a painting instructor for all ages for over 6 years. In 2020, she completed her year-long tattoo apprenticeship and began tattooing professionally. She lives with her partner and two cats, and enjoys reading, playing video games, hiking, nature, and coffee. Kaylie favors
a neotraditional style, and her favorite things to tattoo are nature elements, bones, animals, insects, the female form, florals, botany, spooky things, mystical and mythological subjects, classical art and art history-inspired, cartoons, anime, black and grey, and lots of color!

Nick has been in the tattooing industry since 2016 when he started his apprenticeship with our very own, Drew Collins. He finished his apprenticeship in 2020 and has been tattooing since. Nick has been an artist, you can say all of his life. He eats and breathes art. Whether he is at home or at work, he is forever drawing on his spare time. His forte is in American Traditional tattoos, although he can do more tattoos outside of that style. When Nick is not at work tattooing, you can find him enjoying his time off with his wife and fur-kids.
