Melissa D'Elia-Warnick & Cheryl Casale-Huftalen are KIN.

Cousins by birth. Best friends by choice.

We are lifelong tattoo collectors — one of us is married to a tattooer — and we are equally obsessive about what goes in our bodies and what goes on them.

KIN was born from a simple frustration: the aftercare we kept reaching for didn't match the care we put into the work itself. Hours under the needle. Years of choosing artists, of saving for sessions, of carrying meaning on our skin. We didn’t want petroleum based anything near our skin!

So we made our own.

KIN is luxury tattoo and bodycare for people who read ingredient labels. Small-batch. Women owned. Hand-poured. Obsessively clean. We source the best ingredients we can find. Women-owned. Small-batch. Sourced with obsession.

Welcome to KIN.
