Kate Ortiz

Kate (she/her) is a tattoo artist and co-owner of Bat & Cave Tattoo along with her partner, Caleb. It is important to her that everyone who comes to Bat & Cave feels a warm welcome, acceptance, and a little bit of magic.

Kate has been an artist since she could hold a pencil and can’t imagine life without art in it. She has had several different art centered careers but tattooing as been her favorite artistic adventure yet. She’s been tattooing since July of 2022 and specializes in traditional imagery. She enjoys different styles like folk art, vintage, or anything with a spooky twist.

She is a full time mother to the sweetest little boy, and has 3 cats. When she’s not tattooing, she’s probably figuring out her next art project in her cozy home, playing with her kid, or getting lost in a book or scary film. She’s a big time nerd for spooky stuff, so ask her about ghosts, aliens, Halloween, or horror movies.
