Kathleen Stelick | Portland Tattoo Artist

Kathleen is a lifetime artist trained internationally in oil painting and visionary art. She has taken her teachings from the lineage of the old masters of oil painting and merged these techniques into the art of tattoos. Focusing on composition, light source, values, and dimensional color palettes, her tattoos deliver timeless beauty. Kathleen recognizes each of her clients as a true work of art. The intention she holds is to create tattoos that feel as though they have always been a part of you. Through clear and open communication she aims to discover and align with your distinct vision, to bring it into reality. 

Kathleen’s style is soft and painterly, but she is not afraid to include bold and ornate compliments. Her pieces are carefully composed to create a powerful and emotional viewing experience. Harmonizing multiple design elements in unique ways, she loves using patterns and interesting symmetries to enhance the subject matter. Kathleen believes in tattooing as one of the most powerful ways of self-expression and looks forward to being a part of your tattoo journey.
