Tattoos built around the story you're telling.
KM Tattoo is a San Francisco studio dedicated to custom design, precision linework, and a serene environment for focused, long-form sessions. Every piece begins with a conversation, not a catalogue.

"A great tattoo is a decision made twice: once by the client, and once by the needle. My role is to ensure they are in perfect agreement."
KM Tattoo is a boutique San Francisco studio centered on custom artistry — every design is crafted from scratch following a genuine conversation about placement, scale, and the story the piece needs to tell.
Sessions are booked individually to ensure the space remains quiet and the focus stays entirely on the work at hand. I specialize in dark illustrative work, detailed black and grey, and full-color narrative sleeves.
