Here’s a little about me!

I bring the LA vibes to Bellingham!

I have 2 boys, who run my world! They are My Dudes! We are a fun, sports loving, sarcastic trio! Between clients they keep me busy as a sports mom. On my free time you can find me trying new restaurants, new breweries, going to the movies, skateboarding or just chillin!

In 2021 I became a licensed nail tech.
My passion for nails started when I was 15 years old, I got my first set of acrylic nails and never looked back. I do offer a variety of nail services but Acrylic will always have my heart! I gotta say I have a passion for Acrylic Nails.

I was given the nickname Ruthless as a joke and well it stuck. Ruthless Nailz was created to be a place for the Homegirls to get together and kick it! I strive to be a safe place for all my clients while providing an individualized nail experience for each one of you! I like to educate clients about the services they are getting and walk you through the process

I started my apprenticeship in 2016 at Old School Tattoo and Piercing. Fortunately, I found myself surrounded by incredible artists, and amazing teachers that allowed me to explore my style and guide me along the way. Creating art has forever been a passion of mine. Tattooing allows me to share that passion in the most honorable way. Being able to create permanent artwork for my clients that allow them to express themselves is one of the most rewarding things. That being said, I do tattoos in a variety of styles. I enjoy doing black and grey realism, dotwork, neotraditional, and fine line tattoos.

When I’m not at MECCA tattooing, you can usually find me hanging out with my dogs in the woods or at the beach. I enjoy painting and jewelry making as well. Always creating something! You can find me on instagram @kaileewinterburn or on my website, www.tattoosbykailee.com

I completed my Apprenticeship under Kailee Winterburn in January of 2025 but I’ve been interested in tattooing for as long as I can remember and working towards my career as a tattoo artist for the last 4 years. I love all styles of tattooing. I definitely lean more towards a feminine witchy aesthetic when creating my own designs; Representing my alt girliesss!!! In addition I’m always up for new challenges and testing the limits! Bringing people’s ideas to life is so fulfilling to my heart. I’ve been a passionate artist my whole life, through every wind and turn I have always been able to count on any form of artistic expression to center me and escape. I love sharing that passion with people and creating art that they are proud to wear forever.

When I’m not in the shop I’m at home with my girlfriend, our daughter, and our doggie-daughter just being a bunch of silly girls; most likely doing something crafty or enjoying nature!!! My favorite hobby is playing with makeup/facepaint you can always be sure to find me with super fun and crazy makeup looks, expressing my love for art always <3
