Kirsten has been passionate about many forms of art since the age of 11. After working in the film industry as a special effects makeup artist for 4 years, she decided to finally pursue her dream of tattooing. She began her tattoo journey in September of 2021 and hasn’t looked back!

Kirsten specializes in black and grey work and is well known for her dainty, fine line florals. In the past year of her tattooing career, she has found great joy in focusing more on pet portrait work. Being a dog mom of two, she absolutely loves being able to provide her clients with beautiful portraits of their animals that they can carry with them forever. Kirsten also enjoys tattooing ornamental, script work, realism, traditional and more.

Outside the world of tattooing, Kirsten spends most of her free time outside, traveling, hiking, making pottery, painting, gardening and tending to her ducks and chickens. Kirsten is passionate about business and being a part of an artistic community which is why in March 2025 she’ll be opening Vine and Valour, a ceramic studio and art collective where creators of all kinds can come together to explore new mediums and express themselves without limitation1

Kirsten is available for custom requests but also has a lot of pre drawn designs to choose from. Her books are always open and she’s super quick to reply to all requests. You can find her on Instagram @amethyst_ink_ or email vineandvalour@gmail.com or submit our tattoo request form .
