Elegant Ink

I’m so glad I stumbled upon Kat! I purchased a groupon after making sure her reviews were good, and got two tattoos from her. She will be my go-​to from here on out. She was able to put together my ideas onto paper and then skin. Totally professional, super clean shop — I watched 3 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix while she worked on me! I have another one planned in the not so distant future and I will be returning to her. Fair prices and high quality work.

Kat was super patient and thoughtful with me when it came to designing my tattoo. This was my very first one so I was extremely nervous. The whole process took about a month to design while emailing back and forth and the tattoo itself took two and a half hours. Kat was very professional, thoughtful, and kind throughout everything! I would definitely recommend Elegant Ink!

Kat is nothing short of a true artist! Her shop is a hidden gem in a tiny random strip mall– blink and you’ll miss it. I love that she is by appointment only and and locks the door when she’s in session with you to assure no interruptions. Her «shop» is no such thing. It’s a gallery of her art on canvas, her jewelry and her personality. It is the best and most comfortable place I have ever been inked. Not only does Kat do excellent technical work, but she actually care about you as a person! I had a simple wrist tattoo yesterday and she has checked in to make sure I am doing well and how you’re healing. She’s humble with a sense of humor. Her rate is totally reasonable and her work is impeccable. The amount of detail she achieved in my ink is impressive and I have tons of amazed comments. Whether it’s your first ink or you’re filling in that last square inch on your body, Kat’s your gal. 100% recommend her with zero hesitation.

Kat is amazing! She made me feel very comfortable as this was my first tattoo. I am so happy with it and my experience! I will never go to anyone else!

Kat is a true artist. I have used several Groupons for other artists and have gone to her now 3 times. Very reasonable in price. Her studio is a true studio-​not a parlor or shop. The walls are covered in her very tasteful paintings-​NOT stereotypical tattoo fare. I e-​mailed her designs and she put together a proof page of 6 designs she thought I would like. We tweaked them there in the studio. Kat had me stand in several positions in front of a mirror to get the placement just right. She is pleasant, cheerful and very professional. She offers a blanket, TV or music during the procedure-​so appreciated. I also like the fact she closes the Studio so you aren’t surrounded by other patrons and noise. Very woman-​friendly!

Kat is AWESOME! I can’t say enough good things about her and her work. When I was younger I got a terrible tattoo that I needed to get covered, I thought it was going to be nearly impossible to do but she absolutely killed it. We communicated via email which was nice because I could take my time sending her ideas back and forth, she didn’t make me feel rushed. She is so willing to do anything, listens to all of my ideas, and ultimately helped me make the best decisions as far as the designs and placements. I feel like most tattoo artists are pushy and try to change your ideas a little too much, Kat isn’t that way. Her shop is super clean and I love the décor. She has wall hangings of her own work! And for the icing on the cake– she doesn’t charge an arm and a leg. She is very reasonable. Since my cover up I have had three other tattoos from her. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Great experience with Kat. She worked with designing a custom tattoo that was exactly what I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with and the price was reasonable, especially with all the time she spent sending me design ideas and making changes until we had the perfect design.

Kat is exceptional! Her studio is inviting, clean and peaceful. She was prepared with the designs we had discussed via email. The piece she did was a coverup from a tat that didn’t turn out as planned. She did a lovely job. Thank you!!!

Katherine was a joy to work with. From the first email collaborating on what I wanted to the day I had it done. The whole process was easy, Her shop is clean, full of her one of a kind art. You don’t have the constant interruptions that you do in some of the bigger shops. When you’re in her chair its all about you. Her work is beautiful, the quality is second to none. I had my wrist done a week ago and it’s healing beautifully, no color variations or blotches. Highly recommend.

Best tattoo experience I’ve ever had.
The environment is clean, comfortable and professional. The walls are adorned by Katherine’s original, tasteful artwork, and the tattoo chair faces a television with an eclectic collection of DVD movies to distract you from the pain while you sit. Since Katherine is the sole artist of the studio, she locks the front door to guarantee privacy – a much-​appreciated feature.
Katherine’s creative touch is one-​of-​a-​kind. In a male-​dominated industry, Katherine offers a unique twist to tattoo artistry by providing a distinct, but not overtly feminine flare to her work. However, this is not to say she only creates feminine art. As a man, I came to her seeking a fix for an unfinished lower-​leg sleeve that had been butchered by male artists in the past. Katherine offered her professional advice, doodled on my leg to illustrate the potential fixes, and edited the work along the way in accordance with my persnickety requests. The result was a beautifully balanced piece, complete with new and old ink blended together with masculine and feminine energy like a veritable yin-​yang.
I could not be more pleased with my experience at Elegant Ink and the tattoo I hobbled away with. My only regret is that I did not bring enough cash to tip her what she deserved for the work.

A truly amazing little spot. The owner/​artist, Katharine Anne, is a charming and caring woman with a wicked hand for ink. She helped me design a custom tattoo as a memorial for my son and it is everything I could have imagined. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for good ink and good company. She is thorough, sterile, speedy and relatively cheap. The studio looks like a hole in the wall in a little strip next to a liquor store but don’t let the exterior fool you. Inside the parlor is colorful, well decorated, warm, and full of her paintings (she started as a painter). So give her a try. It’s a wait to get in (she is by appointment only) but in my opinion, totally worth it.

Kat’s work is beautiful and she is a pleasure to work with. I have friends now considering using her for their next tattoo and I highly recommend her.

Katherine is the best! She such a great listener and always up for anything. I feel I have some strange ideas but she always comes through and works with me on the perfect design. my opinion of tattoo artist use to be there were so cocky and rude but I dont get that at all with Katherine. Super sweet and excellent artist. I love how she generally does not use black outline making the tat look very real and unique just like a painting. Shes excellent with realism or anything your heart desires. I have several tats from Katherine and plan on using her for life. Dont waist your time looking around, seriously, or if you do she does cover ups too:)
