GET TO KNOW THE OWNER OF KOLLEKTIV & INKED BY KASEY

Kasey: Owner & Founder

Hi, I’m Kasey — tattoo artist, small business owner, dog mum, and somehow, the mother of three kids under three. Life in my world is loud, beautiful, chaotic, and I wouldn’t trade it for a single thing.
I live in South Morang with my partner Tim and our three little ones — Ava, Bailey, and our newest addition, Summer, We also share our home with Bella, our gorgeous Staffy x French Bullmastiff, who acts like she’s the fourth child most days. Between the nappy changes, the school runs, the cuddles, and the late nights, there is never a dull moment — and honestly? I thrive in it.
Three and a half years ago, I picked up a tattoo machine and everything changed. What started as a passion quickly became a purpose. I fell in love with the art, the connection, the way a tattoo can make someone feel so completely and powerfully themselves. From that moment, I knew this was exactly what I was meant to do — and I’ve never looked back.
Building Inked by Kasey and then growing that vision into Kollektiv by Kasey, a one stop shop beauty destination right here in South Morang, has been the most rewarding and challenging journey of my life. Starting and scaling a business while pregnant, while raising babies, while navigating everything that comes with being a mother and a partner — it hasn’t always been easy. It’s hard. Really hard sometimes. But I have the most incredible village around me — people who show up, who believe in what I’m building, and who remind me on the tough days why I started.
That village means everything to me. And it’s exactly the kind of energy I try to bring into Kollektiv — a space where women feel supported, uplifted, and taken care of. A place where you can walk in carrying the weight of your week and walk out feeling like yourself again.
My tattoo style is feminine and edgy — soft but bold, delicate but intentional. I pour everything into every single piece I create, because I know that what I put on your skin stays with you forever. That’s not something I take lightly. Ever.
So whether you’re a mum squeezing in some time for yourself, a woman ready for her first tattoo, or someone who’s been following along for a while and finally ready to book — welcome. I am so glad you’re here.
This is more than a business. It’s my life’s work, built between nap times, fuelled by coffee, and backed by a whole lot of love. 🖤
