Kat Goddard - Partner / Tattoo Artist 

Born and raised in the heart of Flathead Valley, I’ve had such a passion and a deep appreciation for art for as long as I can remember. Whether sketching as a kid, painting in high school, or exploring different mediums over the years, creating has always been a huge part of who I am. But it wasn’t until I discovered tattooing that I truly found my calling. For five years now I’ve had the privilege of turning my passion into my career, bringing my clients ideas to life.

I’ve been proud to call Glacier Ink my home studio for the last three years. I joined Glacier Ink in 2022, by 2023 I stepped into the role of Shop Manager, & in 2024 I became Shop Partner. In 2023 & 2024 I was also instrumental in Glacier Ink being voted Flathead Valley 2nd Best Tattoo Shop.

There’s something special about working in an environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth—not just for myself, but for the artists around me. In 2023, I had the honor of taking on Lindsey as an apprentice. Watching her grow and persevere through challenges into the talented artist she is today has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career, and it makes me look forward to taking on my next apprentice.

I specialize in Fine Line, floral designs, and Black-and-Grey Semi-realism, always striving to push my work toward full Realism. I love the balance of precision and artistry that these styles require, and I approach every tattoo as a collaboration. Whether you come to me with a fully formed idea or just a rough concept, my goal is to bring your vision to life in a way that feels personal and meaningful. I believe the best tattoos come from a blend of artistic expertise and a deep understanding of what each piece represents for my clients.

When I’m not at the shop, I’m spending time with my husband and son. Family is everything to me, and the love and creativity in my home life naturally spills into my work. When I'm not tattooing, you'll usually find me camping, hiking, floating the river, and exploring our beautiful backyard (Glacier Park)!

Tattooing is more than just putting ink on skin; it’s about storytelling, connection, and creating something that lasts a lifetime. Whether you’re looking for a custom piece that reflects your story or wanting to take home a Montana Souvenir Tattoo as a keepsake from your time here, let’s connect—I’d love to bring your vision to life.

If you've made it this far, I appreciate you for sticking with me. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, now let's book your next appointment!
