Katie Marie

Hi! 👋🏻

I’m Katie, a tattoo artist and the owner of Studio18 Tattoos in Eastbourne. As a female studio owner, creating a safe, welcoming and comfortable space for everyone is something that’s really important to me. 🩷

I’m a versatile tattoo artist, but I truly shine in fineline tattooing - especially micro tattoos, florals, mandalas, ornamentals and animals. These are the styles I love most and the pieces I never get bored of creating. 🎨✨

I started my tattooing journey in 2017 and have been completely dedicated to it ever since. In 2022, I took the leap into becoming a studio owner, and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. But for me, there’s always room to grow. Self-improvement is a huge part of my life, and I’m constantly looking for ways to learn, evolve and become the best version of myself, both as an artist and as a person. ✨

When I’m not tattooing, you’ll usually find me out walking my dog or hiking across the South downs 🌿, at the gym lifting heavy things 🏋🏻‍♀️, travelling and exploring new places ✈️, spending time with my partner, my family and friends 🩵, or getting lost in all things spiritual, whether that’s crystals, meditation, a sound bath or simply taking some time to reconnect with myself. 🔮✨ I do love a bit of yoga too!

I’m all about creating a relaxed, positive and judgement free environment where you can feel completely comfortable being yourself. So whether you’re getting your first tattoo or adding to a growing collection, I’m here to make the experience as chilled and enjoyable as possible. 🩷

I’m so grateful to have you here, and I can’t wait to create something you’ll be proud to wear for a lifetime. ✨
