Who is Kyla and What is backwoods ink?
Back in September of 2023 I started my Wisconsin shop, Walking Arts Tattoos, and was blessed with so many wonderful customers and friends. In 2025, I felt that I wanted to be closer to my family, so I closed the shop in Wisconsin and found the perfect space to renovate a wonderful historic building Gainesville. Now it's my new home in the heart of the Ozarks. From the birth of a child, a memorial to a lost loved one, or just a beautiful piece of permanent art, I will help you create something special that tells your story.
With extensive training in permanent makeup and body piercing, I can help bring your character and confidence out for everyone to see!
Backwoods Ink also offers hemp-based THC products and my one-of-a-kind photography services.
Stop by and sit down with me. Together, we'll make your vision come to life!
