The new girl. She brings the meow to the Miami mix. She originally filled in at Miami Ink while Darren Brass was on the mend. The 24-year-old Kat performed her first tattoo at age 14 and has been pursuing her passion for tattooing ever since. She began working at her first shop at the young age of 16! She has been working with Chris Garver for over a year now and believes this experience to be one of the most educational and fulfilling of her life.

Kat is attracted to realistic tattoos. Her personal style gravitates toward portraiture and realism, mostly on a black and gray scale. Kat loves playing classical piano as well as heavy metal music. She is known by her closest friends to be one of the biggest party animals east of the Mississippi.
