STARKISSED LA  is a queer-woman-of-color owned and operated private tattooing studio located in Koreatown, Los Angeles.

As artists and clients ourselves, we have personally experienced the lack of queer and POC spaces in the art world, especially in the Los Angeles tattooing scene. While tattooing should be fun, inevitably, it is also an intimate and vulnerable experience to entrust your body with us. We thank you for considering our work and energy. We’re so excited to grow and learn as a collective creating space for those interested in getting tattoos to feel safe, seen, and celebrated.


With Love,

Billy
Chumby
Hana
Jules
