Kate Brilz

Chessie has been tattooing since around 2008, bringing nearly two decades of experience with her across multiple styles. Hailing from Southend-on-sea, Essex in the UK, Chessie opened her own award-winning studio in 2014 before closing and moving to Canada in 2020. While competent in virtually all styles, Chessie’s favourite styles are illustrative blackwork, woodcut/etching and colourful neo-traditional. She particularly enjoys drawing flora and fauna, pop culture, medieval inspired artwork, cryptids, pagan and tarot/arcana related stuff, especially if the subject matter can sate her two warring personalities that enjoy all things creepy and cute. Bring her all the dark, grimy, spooky or cutesy bubble-gummy cute ideas you’ve got!
