Kelsey Bertrand

Hi! My name is Kelsey, but you can call me Kels✨.

I'm a 22 year old Tattoo Artist specializing in high contrast, illustrative black and gray tattoos. I'm intrigued by fine-line intricate pieces as I plan to work towards being a realism artist. Being locally born and raised, I was surrounded by sports, ATVs and nature. Yet, my alone time often consisted of sitting at the kitchen table trying to recreate other people's art but in a way that was my own. I also loved doing arts and crafts and painting. The passion for those things stuck with me through the years, that led to a love for organically blending colors into my tattooing style. Pops of color and accents are always satisfying to my eyes!

Out of high school, I attended USM for psychology in hopes of helping my community understand themselves. August of 2022 my goals shifted, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime... an apprenticeship! Although I often described tattooing as a dream I never knew I could achieve, with some time and experience I realized my vision for myself was never far off. I previously saw myself in a mature, safe yet abstract setting. I've now created a place where my clients are comfortable talking about anything, telling their stories and most importantly creating beautiful memories they can now carry throughout life.

Outside of art, I enjoy being active and in nature. Whether I'm at the lake or riding my R6, I'm in love with experiencing and learning. My future goal is to travel the world with the ability to spread love, education, and my passion for tattoo's!

Tattoo's tell stories, hold memories, show self expression, and connect's souls. YOU deserve quality art YOU are proud to wear!
