Cats, Bats & Tats

Hello & Welcome to Katie Chesna Tattoos! I'm so happy you're here!

I've always loved art. Since the moment I could hold a crayon, I've been drawing non-stop. Creating and refining my craft is my passion. Tattooing, which I've been doing since September 2019, has been an incredibly fulfilling journey, offering creativity and daily challenges. Being surrounded by fellow artists and finding joy in my career is something I cherish deeply.

 

I graduated from Daemen College with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration and a minor in Painting. I also have a profound love for art history and religious studies.

 

Currently, I work at Til Death Tattoos in East Aurora, New York. Before tattooing, I worked in the restaurant industry and took on various art positions and commissions.

 

Tattooing brings me immense joy. Each new design brings excitement, and seeing a client fall in love with their body anew is incredibly rewarding. Tattoos can spark self-love, ease the grieving process, and create deep connections with loved ones. It's a privilege to be part of that transformation.

 

In addition to my other work, I find great fulfillment in reconstructive nipple tattooing. This specialized form of tattooing holds profound significance for many clients, often marking the end of a challenging journey through breast reconstruction. Creating realistic and beautiful nipple tattoos allows individuals to reclaim their bodies and feel whole again. It's an honor to contribute to their healing process, providing a sense of normalcy and confidence through my art. For more information, please visit the Reconstructive Tattooing tab on my webpage.

 

My favorite subjects are either dark and moody or quirky and humorous. Feel free to email me with any questions or just to chat. And don't forget to tell me about the best beer you've recently enjoyed!
