Hi! My name is Kayleigh.
I love making, in the broad sense of the word. 
I’ve been an artist/maker/creator for as long as I can remember. 
Working with my hands has always made me feel happy and I’ve explored many different fields such as installation, photography, fashion, illustration, furniture making, painting, glass work and now tattooing. 

I went to two different art academies, Willem de Kooning and Design Academy Eindhoven and started developing my creative abilities there. When I graduated the Willem de Kooning I was mostly focused on Installations and did not anticipate becoming a tattoo artist at all!

I started as a shop manager at The Ink Society in 2018 and was surrounded by tattoos. One day Wietske, the owner, asked me if I would like to learn how to tattoo. 
After some consideration I decided to go for it, to learn a new technique and translate my work to this medium. 
I fell in love with the craft and have been working on it ever since! 

Now, what is my style of tattooing?
Generally playful! A bit quirky and a lot of colour! (although I also do tattoos in black only)
