Best Celebrity-Approved Tattoo Artists
It's no secret that this has been a momentous year for celebs and tattoos. From Kendall Jenner's infamous inner lip ink to Cara Delevingne's eerily real-looking tattoo of eyes on the back of her neck, there were too many rad reveals to count. That said, these amazing works of art would be nothing without the creative masterminds behind them. Some of them you may be familiar with because all the A-listers hit them up when they feel like getting tatted, but there are also a few undercover gems you likely haven't heard of just yet. Ahead, find the amazing artists who tattoo your favorite celebs — from Bang Bang and JonBoy — to Doctor Woo and the man behind Bella Thorne's famed "Kitty" ink.

The lovely lady who tatted GOT girls Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner is none other than Miss Kat Paine. She's a 25-year-old tattoo artist from Belfast, Ireland, and though she only gave the starlets a tiny taste of her artwork, she's a serious talent that's sure have amazing things up her sleeve.

Who could forget the time Miley Cyrus got a tattoo of Saturn and said it was Jupiter? Yeah, that was awkward. But the tattoo artist (and good friend of Miley's) behind the tiny little tat, Lauren Winzer, is actually very talented. The only caveat? She's based in Sydney, Australia. So if you're ever headed there and are vying for some ink, we highly suggest stopping by her shop.
