Kellyann Zito

Kellyann Zito is a Senior Artist and Shop Manager at Rusted Jade Art Collective in Brooksville, FL. Originating from New York, she began her journey by mastering the intimate craft of hand-poke tattooing, a style that remains fundamental to her artistry. She later expanded her versatility to include fine line work in black & grey, color, and American Traditional. Kellyann has developed a distinctive personal style, notable for her use of rich, earthy, and moody colors in themes of florals, folklore, nature, wildlife, and vibrant feminine American Traditional pieces. As a Disney enthusiast, she also delights in creating magical, character-inspired tattoos with her signature approach to soft yet striking color blends, often adding her own unique spin. Beyond tattooing, Kellyann is also a talented artist in painting, mixed media, and jewelry making, with her art available for sale at the shop. Known for her humor, warmth, and a secret talent for singing, Kellyann is celebrated for making every session feel effortless and comfortable, like being tattooed by an old friend.
