Hi! My name is Kat, but I go by Toki!

Toki (토끼) means bunny in Korean, it’s an homage to my late dad, who’s zodiac sign was a bunny. He was an amazing artist and is my biggest inspiration.

I’m a Korean American, queer Tattoo Artist based in Dallas, Texas. I created and specialize in my signature “Shadow Style” tattoos. I’ve always been drawn to soft tattoos and my goal with every single project is to create a tattoo that is unbelievably soft and that captures a tangible mood, essence, or moment.

I was a software engineer working on Google Doodles before I transitioned to tattooing full-time in 2024. I worked on games like this.

Outside of tattooing, I enjoy snowboarding, pottery, painting, hosting community events, and hanging out with my 3 cats (Emmett, Lucy, and Bunny) and my girlfriend (and videographer) Thao 🏠
