Kimmie Wesson began her tattoo journey at a young age, starting her apprenticeship at just 18. Passionate about art and eager to turn her dream into a career, she was encouraged by her high school art teacher, Mr. Scott to pursue tattooing—a perfect fit for her lifelong love of tattoos, inspired by watching shows like Ink Masters and Tattoo Nightmares with her father.

During her senior year, Kimmie created a portfolio from her high school art and brought it to Dark Age Tattoo Studio, where she was accepted as an apprentice. Over the next three years, she honed her craft, learning everything she knows about tattooing. Today, Kimmie is a full-time tattoo artist, proud of the growth she’s achieved both as an artist and as a person, and excited for the future of her career.
