Katie Byrne has been a tattoo artist since 2019, bringing her deep love for illustration into her work. She holds a degree in Drawing and Painting from OCAD University and a second degree in Illustration from Sheridan College. Her dedication to visual arts made her transition to tattooing a natural progression, allowing her to quickly master the craft.
Katie describes her style as black and grey illustrative fantasy with a slightly dark or spooky edge while still being whimsical. She enjoys exploring new visual directions and combinations, drawing inspiration from animals, nature, horror, mythology, folklore, and fantasy themes. For Katie, one of the most rewarding aspects of tattooing is the connection she forms with her clients, hearing their stories, and seeing their reactions when the work is complete.
