All about me
Hi, I’m Abbie Kerby, a Tattoo Artist and Graphic Designer. I graduated from my tattoo apprenticeship in 2023 studying under Nick Stockford at Rock Solid Tattoo. Simultaneously, I attended Saginaw Valley State University and graduated in 2024 with a degree in Graphic Design and minors in Marketing
and Communications.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love to go up north, hangout with my animals, and watching movies! I also like to fill my free time with side projects, I'm always working on something. I've even designed and painted a few large scale murals!
From a very young age, I have always been interested in art and design. It allows me to express myself and connect with others through visual artistry. I absolutely love the process of collaborating with clients to create artwork we both love.
My Supporters
I grew up in Saginaw, MI with my mom Emily, father Steve, and my younger siblings, Max and Grace.
My friends and family are a huge reason for my success. They have always been my biggest fans, rooting for me no matter what! Their love and support gives me the courage to go after what I love!
