Tim Kern

Hello!

My name is Tim. My pronouns are he/him. I have a Bachelors of Fine Art from The University of Missouri-Columbia, and I’ve been a professional tattoo artist since 1995. Over the years, I have developed a passion for oddities, sideshows, as well as anatomical art. My wife Hang and I moved to Portland in 2015 from New York City, with the intention of starting a business together. We opened Exquisite Corpse Tattoo & Hair Studio in January of 2022, enabling us to follow our creative passions in an inspiring shared space. I am experienced in most styles of tattooing and I am always happy to create something beautiful and unique for all of my clients. I have a particular love for realism as well as more illustrative pieces. You can click the links below to check out my portfolio, social media, and to book a tattoo consultation!
