About Me

Greetings! I’m Kaya, owner and operator of Veil of Ink by Kaya located in the Quad Cities! After years of artistry through drawing & painting, I’ve found my dream and passion in tattooing. I enjoy a diverse range of styles, but I specialize in black & grey illustrative work. My work lives in a land between creepy & cute! 

I am a proud mother of my four fur babies! Most of my time spent outside of tattooing is at home with my family: reading, playing games, and watching movies! I love collecting wet specimens and any other oddities! I’m also a HUGE horror movie fan and i’ll talk with you for hours if you want! 

My greatest goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment for my clients. Whether you do better in silence or chatting, the end goal is that you leave your session feeling happy, confident and at ease with your time spent. Expect no pressure!
