Katja was born and raised in the picturesque city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and was inspired to try tattooing as a new means of creative expression to supplement her wide repertoire of passions and interests. It started out as merely a hobby – another new medium to create works on leather and art boards – but her creativity and curiosity eventually flourished to include the canvas of the human form.

Kat is a Renaissance woman, finding pleasure in creating art in a variety of different ways, but it was when she began creating for clients that her drawing skills were really brought to the forefront. The art of tattooing is satisfying to Kat’s curious nature because it is an art medium that is ever evolving and expanding. She loves the process of meeting new and unique people and entering into a creative co-creation with clients. Getting to know her clients and their stories allows her to synchronize their vision with her own inspiration – often gleaned from different genres of art movements and music to create a piece wholly unique and special.

Kat’s current tattoo passion projects revolve around refining a unique style which combines realism with the genres of bold lines and neo traditionalism. While not in the tattoo studio, you can find Kat doing almost everything under the sun! She currently is involved in a range of passionate projects including foraging, growing rare and edible plants, chicken farming, historical house restoration, apothecary creation, novel writing, animal welfare, motorbike riding, evolved senior care, alternative health and wellness, martial arts, and dancing. Her full name is Katarina, with a given name of Katja, and the nickname Kat was picked up in high school. She likes and welcomes the use of any of the three!
