Kai Nivo – Tattoo Apprentice
At just 25 years old, Kai Nivo has already lived a lifetime of creative expression and artistic growth. His journey began in childhood, coloring outside the lines—literally—by turning simple coloring book pages into his own imaginative works of art. By his early teens, Kai’s authentic style had already earned him numerous awards for originality and artistic excellence, a trend that continued well into his late teens.
Before stepping into the tattoo world, Kai spent nearly a decade as a special effects designer and cosplay influencer, inspiring thousands across the globe. Fans and fellow artists alike have reached out over the years to thank him for his guidance, encouragement, and the creative spark he’s shared so generously.
Kai isn’t just an artist—he’s a force of positivity. Known for being the smiling light in any room, his warm, approachable nature means you can’t meet Kai without walking away as a friend.
His road hasn’t been without challenges—Kai faced intense bullying from teachers, peers, and others during his teenage and young adult years. But rather than letting it break him, he turned those struggles into fuel, rising above every obstacle with determination and ambition. A proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Kai now dedicates much of his free time to helping others navigate similar challenges, offering support and hope to those who need it most.
Now, as a tattoo apprentice at Stoic Body Art, Kai is channeling his lifelong passion for creativity into skin art. Whether you’re looking for your first tattoo or your next big piece, Kai brings a unique blend of artistry, empathy, and genuine connection to every appointment. Come get tattooed by him—and see why everyone leaves his chair with not just a tattoo, but a new friend.
