KRYSTAL
Founder and Lead Tattoo Artist
For as long as I can remember, Art has been a part of my life: constantly drawing, painting, and creating with my hands - exploring every medium I could and falling in love with the process of turning ideas into something tangible. That lifelong passion led me to tattooing, where Art & Human Connection meet in the most meaningful way.
Becoming a Tattoo Artist allowed me to turn what I love into a business that serves my local community. I work across many styles and influences, always honoring each client's story and vision. Tattoos often mark major transitions - healing, loss, growth, celebration - and I feel deeply honored to be trusted with those moments.
My goal is always to create artwork that carries meaning, intention, and lasting beauty. Beyond the tattoos themselves, I am passionate about creating a peaceful, welcoming studio environment. Together with my fellow artists, I am dedicated to building a space rooted in safety, comfort and respect - where all clients feel seen, supported, and at ease.
For Me, tattooing is more than art on skin; it's a way to serve others, hold space during life's turning points, and create something truly lasting.
MEGAN
From Teaching to Tattoo Artist
Change is good. For 18 years, I had the pleasure of teaching visual art to thousands of young people in various public school settings. Mural painting, printmaking, sculpture, fibers, ceramics, drawing -
I loved teaching any medium! Each day in the classroom presented unique challenges, big and small. But over the years, those daily challenges compounded, evolved and I found myself teaching less art and more life skills. 2025 marked a time for drastic change and a shift in career focus. Rather than sussing out and nourishing the creativity in others, I am now exploring my own creative capacities while learning an exciting new medium; skin! As I embrace this change, I am filled with gratitude and appreciation for the gift of time and the ability to express myself through my work while honoring the desires of
Kave Art and Tattoo
clientele.
CASSIDY
Tattoo Artist
My name is Cassidy and I have been in the shop for around 3 years now and tattooing skin for over 2 years. I am part of the fantastic team at Kave Art and Tattoo in Rochester, WI, an all female tattoo shop! I work on all sorts of styles, but I think my current favorite is black and gray botanical/nature themes. In my free time, I’m a big nerd who loves to read, go to the renaissance faire, pet absolutely any animal I see, garden, and enjoy any other random hobby I can pick up! If you are interested in booking a piece, please reach out and email me today!
