Spokane’s Kawaii
Tattoo Artist
Preferred Styles: Girlie Pop Kawaii, Glitter, + Anime
Tattoos are many things. They are artistry, history, culture, and my personal favorite, self expression. If you are looking for a collaborative and relaxed tattoo experience, you’re in the perfect place. This space is intended to be safe place for you to feel welcome and for your ideas to be heard and brought to life. Established in 2023, Strawbunni Ink, formerly Kawaii Inks, hopped into the tattoo world with clear intentions; create, inspire, connect, and grow. You are encouraged to speak up for how you’re wanting your design to look like, where it is placed, to take breaks and even have a little cry if needed. While not every step of the tattoo process is completely collaborative, this is your tattoo, your experience, and your body. We will work together to ensure you leave with something you’re happy with and ready to show off to your friends and family.

I love tattooing any of my flash and also sweet treats, fruits, and custom girlies/anime characters! I also love doing mash-ups (For ex. Character X Sweet Treat Mash up = Totoro Ice Cream Cone)!!

I have plenty of background in the arts growing up. I took art classes through middle school and high school and continued drawing through adulthood as a hobby. I had a passion for photography as well and opened my own boudoir photography studio. I had many successful years as a photographer and absolutely loved what I did. It was such an honor helping women connect and feel at peace in their skin but something was missing so I began researching ways to become a full-time artist. This is when I found books and articles on the history of tattooing, what it meant in different cultures, and what it represents nowadays and I was like “yupp, I’m in.”

I NEVER expect tips, but they are always appreciated!! The absolute BEST tip you could give me is spreading the word about my business to your friends! Word of mouth is HUGE for tattoo artists!
If you are adamant on “standard tipping”, I always appreciate cash, gift cards (I love shopping and exploring the city), funko pops/trinkets, or homemade gifts from clients always make me smile! And I certainly would never decline such a kind gesture. -
As I said before, I never expect tips but if you’d like to show your appreciation, whatever you’re comfortable with it perfectly okay!! I typically receive anywhere from 10-50% from my clients.
Some of my clients also bring me gifts instead of cash tips! I’ve received Funko pops, anime figures, Labubu’s/Baby Three’s, drinks, food (no homemade dishes, please), etc
If you choose to tip, thank you so much and I appreciate your gratitude!! (: -
I have been an “art kid” for most of life. I took a short break from traditional art, like painting and drawing, to focus on a photography career. Four years after the start of my photography career, I realized my true passion lied in drawing and painting and I wanted to pursue a more traditional art based career. With that, in the fall of 2023 I started my tattoo apprenticeship and in Spring of 2026, I opened my own private tattoo studio (:
