Your Artist

A woman with long dark hair, wearing a navy blue dress with white pinstripes, gold jewelry, and earrings, standing in front of a plain, off-white wall.

Hello! Iā€™m Kieu ā€” a tattoo and nail artist based in Chicago. I began both tattooing and nails in 2023 and have loved pursuing the two ever since. Originally from Iowa, I moved to Chicago at the start of 2025 for bigger opportunities and to push myself to my fullest potential.

My tattoo works are fine-line focused. Styles I love to do range from whimsical, Asian inspired oriental to sharp and bold contrast cybersigilism.

For my nail services, I specialize in Gel-X, builder gel, and acrylic. I always look forward to creating designs that bring out your personality, so every set feels like an extension of you.
