Kaleb Lind

From drumming to photography, I’ve always had a deep-rooted passion for anything that allows me to be creative. I’ve always felt a special connection to the visual arts and eventually found my true obsession in tattooing. I began my apprenticeship in Denver at 19 and have been completely enamored with all things tattoo ever since.

My goal is to create beautiful, authentic, and meaningful tattoos that both my clients and I love equally. I’m grateful to share my passion with those who trust me with their art, and I look forward to working with all of you wonderful humans

We’re excited to welcome our good friend Kaleb to the studio in Bellingham! Born in Seattle, Kaleb is returning to his roots after years in Denver, Colorado, bringing his passion for art, philosophy, and adventure with him. Our paths first crossed during his first guest spot at 26 Swords Tattoo, where an instant connection was formed. After just one dinner together, we decided to take a spontaneous trip to Italy—an unforgettable adventure that happened to be Kaleb and his wife Lily’s first international trip. Throughout the trip, we encouraged Kaleb to find his own unique voice in tattooing and to inspire him to start capturing his own reference photos while traveling—an approach that adds depth and authenticity to his work. We all enjoyed the experience so much that on our last night, we planned our next trip—this time to Prague to visit the Alphonse Mucha Museum. The rest, as they say, is history. Now, many of Kaleb’s tattoos now reflect his love of travel, culture, and art history, weaving elements from his experiences abroad into his work. He embodies the open-minded, adventurous spirit that we value so much. His love for travel, exploration, and creative expression has made him an inspiring presence in our lives, and we’re thrilled to have Kaleb working alongside us here in Bellingham.
