Kade has been tattooing since 2021, starting his tattoo career in Portland, Oregon. He originally chose to move to Oregon for college where he attended Portland State University. He studied Visual Art for a couple of years before dropping out to focus on tattooing full time. He tattooed professionally in Oregon from 2021-2025 before deciding to move to Maryland to be closer to family.

Kade grew up in Alabama, always playing outside and looking for critters. His parents always encouraged curiosity and creativity in his life, fully supporting his artistic endeavors. From coloring in their tattoos as a kid, to never-ending sketches on his schoolwork and forearms, Kade has always had a passion for art and knew that he wanted to be an artist when he got older.

Specializing in fine-line, illustrative work, Kade also loves American traditional, anime/manga, and lettering. He’s open to every style and subject but his favorite things to tattoo are animals, bugs, bones, and plants. A lot of his inspiration comes directly from nature and his fascination with growth and decay.
