Kai Akane









Hello! My name is Kai. I am a tattoo artist from Montana who is new to the Spokane area. I have been at Heartbreaker for the last year. I consider myself the luckiest man on earth because I can do what I love for a living.
I am a 'by appointment only' artist who is willing to work with anyone who wants ink from tattoo virgin to seasoned veteran. Since I am in a new town, I have opportunity to help you design a piece that is completely unique. I do not do that same tattoo on multiple people, unless explicitly asked to do so. I usually include artwork done with the tattoo's completion so that you know for sure it's all yours. I am a man of my word, and I take keeping my appointments as sacred law. I do not judge and try to inspire those who need it. If you give me the chance, I will work very hard for you. Customers are the more important people in the shop.
I am taking new clients, without a long waitlist. Hit me up and let's make it happen!

Ilia Lyons








Owner of Heartbreaker Tattoo, I've been tattooing close to three years. Art has always been my passion, and I was given the opportunity to share that with others. I love color and dark, goth stuff; neon and woodcut engraver style, an eclectic mix Looking forward to helping you design your next piece.

Posh
I'm a sculptor painter and tattoo artist, and I have also dabbled in murals, resin art and clothing design. My favorite style of art is recreation of historically important works, calligraphy and anime.
I'm loving father and a caring person, and I am happy to work with my clients to create a custom piece just for them. I specialize in hand drawn works catered to the clients taste.
