Kelsie (she/her) is a Huddersfield, UK based multidisciplinary and tattoo artist.

Tattooing in a blackwork style, Kelsie focuses on bold, clean linework and textured, stippled shading. She takes on projects of all sizes, and loves working with a blend of light and dark themes; including, but not limited to, floral arrangements, gothic architecture, osteology, macabre, witchcraft/wicca, herbology, horror, human and animal portraiture. (Please see the Tattooing FAQ's page for further information on the tattooing process.)

It is possible to find Kelsie tattooing in various cities throughout the UK, as she attends various tattoo conventions and guest spots in other studios throughout the year. Please see the enquiry page for further information on upcoming travels.

Kelsie's printmaking is inspired by her tastes in tattoo art, and her monochromatic designs aim to bring those same themes from her tattooing into people's homes rather than on their skin. Artwork is usually available for purchase via her Etsy page

With a passion for charity work, she's worked with a number of organisations, including having illustration works published in Sea Shepherd's "Victory of the Whale" in collaboration with the now retired London Tattoo Convention, to raise money for their efforts in protecting the world's ocean and all marine life. https://seashepherd.tattoo/2021/04/16/victory-of-the-whale-book/
