KC's Gallery

My name is KC Kellman, I am a Professional and Reliable tattoo artist and piercer. Before I came to this, I was born in Lake Tahoe Ca. Raised in a small town in Southern California called Moorpark. I have been tattooing since 2004 professionally since 2007, before I took an apprenticeship I did the whole trial and error thing on my buddies for a couple years finally finding out I need to learn the right way to do things (thanks guys). It was in 2005 I was kite surfing and ended up breaking my femur, I was laid up in bed for six months, so I decided to look for a real apprenticeship. That is when I came across Mike Burford and Notorious Ed in Texas. Notorious Ed is an old school tattooist with over 40 years experience, so who better to learn from. Well I ended up moving to Bryan/College Station Texas, and went to work learning the industry. I learned how to build and tune my machines, build needles, make ink, and everything else needed to know about how to run a tattoo shop. Towards the end of my apprenticeship I ran and managed Pinky's New School Tattoos and Exotic piercings, in the entertainment district of Texas A&M. In the summer of 08 I moved back to California to further my path as a tattoo artist. I like to specialize in any kind of design you want to give me. I do color bomb, traditional, black and gray, portraits, Japanese, floral, lettering, just about anything. You can also bring in your designs or let me customize a design for you. Besides tattooing I tend to spend the time that I have free drawing, surfing, golfing. If you want to set up an appointment with me either call the shop 818-781-9900 or you can email me at bigsurf3@aol.com or myspace.com/spicolie
