Born and raised in Buffalo, Kelly is a native to NY. After high school she joined the Marine Corps and was stationed in Southern California. After two combat deployments she was honorably discharged and remained in Southern California. She taught fine arts classes while working towards a degree at Mira Costa College majoring in fine arts and business, later earning a degree in Entrepreneurship. Kelly began her tattoo apprenticeship in 2013 under Josh Ridge: Transcendence Tattoo.
She enjoys doing black work tattoos, Polynesian tattoos, fine line tattoos, script, and anything in color! In 2019 Kelly moved to Nashville to be closer to family and nature. In 2022 Kelly opened Tookay Tattoos with the intention to provide clients with a higher standard of tattoo experience within the industry. She believes tattooing is for everyone and that making a permanent change to your body should be accompanied by a lasting memory of a safe, clean, and overall outstanding experience.
When she’s not tattooing Kelly is most likely outside exploring the woods, playing disc golf, playing with her dogs, creating something crafty or cooking and spending time with the people she loves!
