Biography
Becoming a tattoo artist was inevitable for Kim Saigh whose interest began at age 16, moments before receiving her first one. Her apprenticeship began at age 18 in Cleveland, Ohio where she had the gracious opportunity to work alongside Guy Aitchison at Guilty & Innocent Productions. In 1999, Kim opened Cherry Bomb Tattoo in the Wicker Park neighborhood on Chicago's north side.
Kim has always felt the highly public, yet ironically overlooked, art form is by far the most sacred. Her illustrative style is influenced by everything from fairy tales to iconographic images from all the world religions, art nouveau to architecture, mythical imagery to nature - especially nature, because its organic flow lends itself to be draped over the human body.
