Kansas City Fine Line Tattoos
What are ‘fine line’ tattoos?
HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL TATTOOS?
Fine line tattoos are all about precision. Created with ultra-thin needles, these tattoos feature crisp, delicate lines that give a refined, modern look—perfect for minimalists or anyone seeking something timeless and understated. Unlike bold traditional styles, fine line work is gentler on the skin, often resulting in lighter healing. Their soft, detailed aesthetic makes them ideal for intricate designs that age gracefully with proper care from the client and execution from the artist.
More about
the artist
Hi! I’m Riley—though most people just call me Ri. I’m a proud Kansas City native, born and raised, with deep roots in a family of entrepreneurs. My grandparents, Ray and Beverly Worth, were first-generation Italian immigrants who became powerhouses in the Harley-Davidson world. Their legacy is well known throughout the KC area, and while I may not be following their exact path, their entrepreneurial spirit definitely lives on in me.
My passion lies in connecting with people and bringing them joy. I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a degree in Journalism and Communications, with an emphasis in PR and Advertising—skills I now use daily as the founder and owner of Vibe Creative, my marketing company.
While in college, I wore many hats: D2 soccer player, sorority president, 12-time national speech and debate finalist, and even a Red Bull brand rep. You wouldn’t necessarily guess that all of this would lead to tattooing—which is exactly what makes my journey so unexpected and meaningful. It was never part of the plan, but it’s been completely led by faith and perfect timing. (Ask me about it at your next appointment—I’d love to share the story.)
I’ve been tattooing since August 2024, and in just a year and a half, I’ve built an incredible community—over 3,000 followers on Instagram, and my books are filled six months out! What started as a side hustle has grown into one of the greatest joys of my life. I get to connect with amazing people, hear their stories, and turn their memories and ideas into art.
And the best part? I get to do what I love—create meaningful artwork every single day
