About Cryptid’s Kiss
Dark stories, made to last.
Custom tattooing and art from Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Cryptid’s Kiss is the artist brand behind more than 20 years of tattooing, with a practice rooted in custom illustrative work and dark, story-driven imagery.
The artist holds a degree in Film & Animation from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD), bringing a cinematic eye for composition, texture, and atmosphere to every piece.
Cover-ups, dark horror and fantasy, and custom illustrative tattooing are core specialties. The work also extends beyond skin into paintings, sculpture, leather, and commissions.
Currently working at Bird of Paradox Studio, 723 50th Street, Kenosha, WI. Visits are by appointment only; the host shop does not take walk-ins for this artist.
