Howdy ho! I’m Kaelin and my world revolves around tattooing, art, and Halloween!

I picked up my first tattoo machine at 14 and haven’t put it down since. I apprenticed at another shop and worked at various others on my journey. I’ve now found a home here at Lifestyle Ink among some amazing artists who helping me grow more every day. I take an interest in all subjects and styles of tattooing. I very much enjoy creating original unique pieces for my clients no matter the size. I’m always up for a challenge! I enjoy everything related to horror/dark art, cartoons/anime, new school, neo-traditional, and anything with color. Looking to take on more black & gray and color realism. I also looking for clients to add some Japanese traditional and trash polka to my portfolio.

Along with tattooing, I’m a tradeswoman and a haunter with Zombie Army Productions for 10 years. Currently, apart from HellsGate Haunted House in Lockport, IL. I enjoy all music genres, but I gravitate towards metal and punk rock. I’d love to incorporate those things into my tattoos. Also – I LOVE plushies, so don’t be afraid to bring one in as a gift for your new favorite artist or anything spooky.

Budget: $100 minimum or $200 an hour

My hours are Monday-Wed 12pm- 8pm and Friday-Saturday 12pm-10pm.
