Kaia
Originally from Albuquerque New Mexico I moved to the PDX area in 2017.
I specialize in colorful Kawaii and Creepy Tattoos
Tattoo themes
Monster Girls: Whether from myth or a dream I love all kinds. I accept customs and have a few flash always rotating in all things horned, scaled, undead, or slightly creepy.
Folklore: It's not a coincidence that my handle is YOKAIa. I love folklore, myths, and all things yokai. Though Yokai refers to just Japanese monsters I am absolutely interested in most cultures folklore and would love to tattoo that more.
Anime : I am happy to tattoo your favorite manga panel, character, or if allowed, my stylized version of characters. My old school fav: Sailor Moon. Mid school fav: Kill La Kill. New school fav: Made in Abyss.
Kawaii: From Sanrio to taking a concept and Lisa Frankifying it I'm always down to color anything fun. I prefer vaporwave color pallets appealing to all skin types but have all the pastels and don't mind getting fun with it.
Abstract: I am now wanting to do more abstract work like huge flowers covering entire body parts, or smoke/wave lines. Things that flow. I use Art Nouveau / art deco as a big inspiration.
Customs: So don't know if your idea fits into this? Just fill out my tattoo request form and find out. If you like my art or think I may be able to tackle what you're thinking I'm happy to chat.
Things out of my wheelhouse: Realism, sailor jerry, accurate floral, realism portraits. I do have referrals though so just let me know, and I can tell you who I think best fits that style.
