Hey, I’m Kate!

I just wanted to introduce myself personally (that text above sounds so formal, and not like me at all! - this is the ‘real me’, and you’ll discover that’s always what you get with me!)

On top of running Etch Artisan I’m a mum of 4 and from time to time I throw my hand into renovations - to say that my life is a juggle is an understatement! But I love it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I started Etch Artisan, I can honestly say I wasn’t expecting to fall so madly in love with the industry. But, seeing women leave my studio with a great big smile on their face just lights me up - I feel incredibly lucky to do what I do and yes, I am obsessed. I have the best job in the world!

I’m so looking forward to meeting you. And please always feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or questions. I’m always here to help.

It can feel a little daunting to book in for your first cosmetic tattoo treatment.

We don’t take for granted the high level of trust that our clients place in our experience and services.

One thing we will say to those who are feeling a little apprehensive is this: we have seen just about everything! Whether you’ve gone through the 90s over plucked stage, or received a poor service from another tattoo professional, or you’ve lost some brow hair through hormones or other factors, or if you’ve been through a challenging time and are just needing a bit of self love - we’re here to help you wake up feeling confident, beautiful and ready for the day. You’re in the safest and most experienced hands.
