Kara Allred

I'm a second generation tattoo artist in the Allred family, born and raised in Phenix City/Columbus area. I was fortunate enough to learn to tattoo under the guidance of my dad, Stevo, at Black Lotus Tattoo Gallery (and having such an awesome team of other artists there to learn from as well was a plus!).

I welcome any opportunity to tattoo in different styles to broaden my horizons, but trad/neotrad have definitely caught my eye as styles I want to delve into even further.

I love getting the chance to tattoo different takes on other forms of art, like cinema, books, and video games because the things we love are such an integral part of who we are. What better way to literally "wear your heart on your sleeve" than a tattoo!
