Katie Meadows · co-owner · senior artist

Katie did what most people think is impossible. She BECAME an artist. Her upbringing exposed her to the world of music but she approached the health care field when she began college. After realizing that the creative life was more fulfilling than the alternatives, she committed to a completely different artform.

Katie began apprenticing with Ben four months into his creation of Black Spot. She hustled and fought and held her own in a tough, male-dominated industry and now owns twenty percent of the company and tattoos full time as a Senior Artist. With eight years of tattooing under her belt, she accepts clients on a selective basis and likes to focus on large-scale designs.

She is most inspired by all things nature and mythology.
