Kelly

Hi, my name is Kel. I, along with the wonderful support and encouragement of my close friends and family, started Redback !nk way back in 2012- from a very small studio with just me, to the wonderful modern set-up we have now. I would not be where I am today without them. Thanks guys, you know who you are.

My clients always ask why I got into tattooing. I guess you could say I’ve always been “artsy”.

With a passion for art/creativity and keen interest in biology and chemistry, tattooing felt like my calling. 

I STARTED REDBACK !NK IN 2012, TO BE THE WONDERFUL MODERN SET-UP WE HAVE TODAY. WITH IMPRESSIVE RETURN CLIENT NUMBERS,  ALWAYS STRIVING TO BE THE BIGGEST AND BEST STUDIO IN ROCKHAMPTON. COME CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF! 

I didn’t get my first tattoo until I was 21. But I was intrigued right from the beginning. So here we are soo many years later; my kids are grown with kids of their own. Any apprentices I've trained over the years, no matter their age, are always my kids in my heart. Family means the world to me. 

Personally, my favourite things to tattoo are realism, (greywash and colour), watercolour, new school, geometric and almost anything nature related. I do also get asked a lot to do cover-ups and reworks of older tattoos. I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite thing to do, however I do love a challenge and the proud feeling I get from helping people. I live for the moment when a client is almost (or sometimes are) in tears because they are sooo happy with the work we do for them. Changing their lives, so they feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.

I don’t know where life will take me, one day I hope to travel. But for now, you can find me 95% of the time hanging out, doing my thing, surrounded by the wonderful Redback !nk crew (or more like family) we’ve grown to be.

Peace
