About Me

Meet Kathe Plaza

I’m Kathe Pla — tattoo artist, creative director, and co-founder of The Art Tribe. Specializing in fine line, botanical, mandala designs and micro-realism, my mission is to create art that lives beyond the skin.

Over the past 4 years, I’ve tattooed between Miami and Tennessee, with stops in Orlando, Chicago, California, and Puerto Rico. Each year, I travel to select cities for exclusive guest spots, giving my clients across the country the chance to collect my work.

Now, through The Art Tribe, I’m building a creative community that blends tattooing, fashion, skincare, and education — a space where art transforms and connects people.

Based in Knoxville, TN & Miami, FL — by appointment only.

Living art

A Fusion of Realism, Geometry, and Blackwork

 Fine Lines, Soft Shadows, and Meaningful Designs

Tattooing is an evolving art form—an intimate blend of creativity and self-expression. My work is characterized by delicate lines, elegant compositions, and a refined approach that enhances natural beauty.

Each piece I create is carefully crafted, designed to flow harmoniously with the body’s contours. Whether it’s a minimalistic fine-line piece, an intricate ornamental design, or a soft, nature-inspired tattoo, my goal is to make each work feel personal and timeless.

Art lives within every detail, every curve, and every stroke of ink. Through my work, I strive to offer more than just a tattoo—I create pieces that become a part of you.
