Keno G Ink

Professional traveling tattoo artist/piercer in the industry for 14 years. Based in Dallas TX, but travels across the country to service clients in 8 states. Born in the northern suburbs of Chicago IL, my roots come from KCMO. KCMO is home to my mother, grandmother and a host of family members, so it’s like home to me as well. I have been an artist since I was a child and started my career in tattooing after being convinced by friends that I could translate what I did on canvas to skin. It’s been an exciting journey and I look forward to sharing my artistry throughout 2000 Vine and KCMO.
