Meet your artist
I create custom tattoos for people who want something personal, polished, and completely their own.
My process is collaborative and unhurried—from the first idea to the final detail. I’m currently booking half-day and full-day sessions so I can give every piece the time, focus, and care it deserves.

“I’ve had two large tattoos done by Kalsie. I’m obsessed with both. Nit only does she bring her impeccable skill, but also a warm and welcoming environment. I will happily make the 3 hour drive to be tattooed by her.”
Sarah Carson
“This girl is amazing! She will treat you the best care you could ever imagine shop is super clean and cozy. Her work is TOP OF THE LINE! Highly recommend her shes the only one I go to now!”
Amanda Maloney
“I spent a full day getting tattooed by Kalsie. Her whole team not inly made me feel welcomed, they provided lunch, drinks, and anything I wanted to watch on the tv in her area. She catered to what made ME comfortable. Talking, not talking... she was flexible. Killer design, she took my suggestions to heart and made my entore tattoo experience top notch. I cannot recommend this studio, and especially this artist, enough!”
Sara Henke
“If you go here you WILL leave with new family. Kalsie and Josh are so kind and welcoming…the best kind of humans. The art created and work done is above and beyond. My forever place!”
Sarah Miller
“My sister, niece, and I just went today and had the best experience! Kalsie was so sweet, she was thorough, and she did an amazing job! Everyone in the shop was fun and friendly! We will definitely be back!!”
Amy Gretencord
“Not only is she an amazing artist but she’s an amazing person. The flowers were a coverup and the lion/sunflower was an off the wall concept I had so much fun creating with her (took 5 hours). We even shared some Taco Bell halfway through the session. If you’re looking for a super laid back environment, Kalsie is your girl.”
Kady
“I scheduled with Kalsie for the first time. Through out the whole two sessions on my leg we had great conversation and she always asked to make sure I was comfortable. Through out all of my tattoos that I have gotten. It was definitely the most “relaxed” place. Outside of the tattoo, she took it upon her self to text me and let me know about really bad weather I’d be driving through on my drive home. Not many people would care much after you left their shop. I plan to go back for my next one. 🩶”
Darian Rubow
“I had been following Kalsie for years and finally booked with her. I get so many compliments on my tattoo. I plan on going back later this year.”
Whitley Jermain
“I had 3 tattoos done by previous artists that were pretty good, but when I walked into Main Street tattoo, I felt like I was home amongst friends. Kalsey was so welcoming and knew blew my mind with her artist approach and made my ink better than I could possibly have imagined. She then did my first Star Wars tattoo AND killed it. She did a cover up for me and I finally have ink that I am proud of. I then had her husband, Josh do a cover up for me and her apprentice, Katie, do one and I won’t let anyone but those three do my ink. They feel like family. 100%”
Matt Gamblin
“Kalsie is amazing I had a vision and she blew it out water! I highly recommend her and her shop.”
Liz Kohtala
“If you want a truly one-of-a-kind piece, you need to book with Kalsie at Main Street Tattoo in Butler, MO. She has tattooed both my thigh and my arm, and her talent with color is absolutely amazing. The tones are vibrant, beautifully saturated, and customized perfectly. Beyond being an incredible artist, she is a compassionate professional who makes the entire session feel comfortable, safe, and collaborative. The shop is spotless, and everything is healing flawlessly. I cannot recommend her custom, colorful work enough!”
Ellisa Hargrove
“Kalsie is absolutely amazing! She is talented, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. The shop was clean, the experience was fun, and I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo. I highly recommend Kalsie to anyone looking for beautiful work and an artist who truly cares about her clients!”

Protect your art
Wash gently with clean hands and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry—never scrub.
Apply only a thin layer of the recommended aftercare product. Too much moisture can slow healing.
No picking, scratching, soaking, swimming, or direct sun while your tattoo heals.
Once healed, daily sunscreen helps your tattoo stay crisp and vibrant for years.
Always follow the specific instructions given at your appointment. Contact Kalsie or a medical professional if you have healing concerns.
