Dana got his tattoo done this weekend, it looks so AMAZING! He and Tara love it and so do I! The shading is awesome and the hidden letters are so cool. Dana says, "This is my family...right here!" I'm super proud of this one, it means the world to him.

Mike Palmatier's Inked tattoo!

Mike got his "MLP" tat inked about a month ago, it has healed amazingly. Mike says he

sees it everyday and it makes him happy that his Dad is still with him. It keeps us close to the ones we've lost. I feel ya Mikey! I am so proud of this tattoo, it's small but I means everything to him.

"Follow Your Heart"

I got my tattoo yesterday and it turned out perfect! I LOVE IT!! Thanks Cathryn, you are an amazing Tattoo Artist and a very cool person too! She works at "Dreamscapes Tattoo" in Scottsdale. I have her info...for anyone I design a tattoo for. You must go to her, she's amazing!

Connie's Butterfly Tattoo

I designed this tattoo for my friend Connie. She wanted to put all the things she loves into this tattoo, and I think we accomplished it! I incorporated a cross, a peace sign, her Dad's initals, 2 hearts that represent her and her daughter, and her daughter's name Sabrina as the body of the butterfly. It's brightly colored and goes great with Connie's personality. She's a bright ray of sunshine.

My Latest Tattoo

This one I designed for myself. It says, "Follow Your Heart," which is something I strongly believe in. My heart has been broken, but I still trust it and I still love life because there are so many good things that outweigh the bad. Thinking positive is important, especially when life throws you a huge curve ball, or in my case, a lot of curve balls at once. You'll change throughout your life and things will happen when you least expect it, but those things are what make us who we are today. We need to embrace who we are, even if we have really bad days, we still have our beautiful spirits to keep us going.

Mike's Dedication Tattoo

This tattoo I designed for my good friend Mike who wanted a dedication tattoo in memory of his Dad. He was very close to him and wanted his initals "MLP" on the inside of his right wrist so he could see it everyday and know that his Dad will always be with him and be a part of him. Love it.

Joanna's Ring Tattoo

I designed this tattoo for my good friend Joanna. She wanted to have her husband's name "Mike" tattooed on her wedding ring finger. She doesn't wear her wedding ring all the time, so this way, people know that Mike is her man! What a cool idea!

Sean's Celtic Cross

Sean wanted me to design a dedication tattoo in memory of his Dad. He chose to do a very special celtic cross with his Dad's initals "WCM" incorporated into the lower part of the cross. Very cool.

Ryan's Hummingbird Tattoo

This 1/4 sleeve tattoo was so fun to design. He wanted a hummingbird with bright colors. I added the flower and stars for the wrap around on his bicep. It turned out really cool, I've become a hummingbird fan after this one. Thanks Ryan!

Christina's Dragonfly Tattoo

I designed this for my good friend Christina. She wanted her 3 kids names incorporated into the dragonfly. She loves bright colors so that's what I gave her. I also put the initals "C" and "J" at the head of the dragonfly (her and her husband's intials). She was super excited!

Dana's Tribal Tattoo

This is a tribal family tattoo I did for my good friend Dana. He wanted his kids initals and his and his wife's intitals incorporated into a tribal type of design. I came up with this idea for him. There is a "J", "C", "E", "T", "D" another "T" and a "V" for thier last name. Can you find them all? This is a 8"x10" tattoo design.

About Me, Kim.

I have such a passion for creating art, every painting I do has a story behind it. Every tattoo design I draw has meaning to the client and to me. I put my heart and soul into every piece I do. I always try to capture the personality and spirit of my clients in thier tattoo designs.

In my paintings I've expressed my feelings and my life from the last 2.5 years. It's been rough and in time I will write about each one...right now, I hope they speak for themselves.

Thank you for your support and interest. I will post artwork as I complete them. Stay tuned! If you are interested in me designing a tattoo for you, please leave me a message. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, -Kim
