Born & raised in Santa Monica, CA Finding her interest in the arts at a young age, Kelly Ann was always the one to take the art extracurriculars.  After finishing her MBA, she began teaching small business classes at various colleges where she reconnected with her art background in her free time.

  She then took an art instructor job that flourished into developing her own business online and starting BrushTokes. Being a tattoo collector herself, the next thing only made sense to start tattooing. She enjoys working with many mediums aside from tattooing, including woodworking, acrylic and oil painting, colored pencils, and pencils.  This variety of mediums practiced enables her to develop as a well-rounded artist. She strives to try many tattoo styles and makes a constant effort to actively seek out all opportunities to better her skills as a tattoo artist.
