Meet the Artists
KAIYA SYRETT
Tattooist & Body Piercer
Kaiya is our studio owner and resident artist, she comes from a body modification background which inspired her to open her own studio with a more welcoming setting and alternative modification experience. Kaiya opened Collectivus in September 2017 to accommodate herself and her apprentices.
Kaiya started her career in body modification as a professional piercer and did an apprenticeship in tattooing alongside her piercing job. After working in and out of a few different studios she finally decided to open her own based in Lowestoft, Suffolk.
Kaiya specialises in bespoke fine line tattooing & cover ups.
The studio is inspired by Kaiya's childhood obsession with cats which has been very prevalent throughout her personality and life.
Outside of work Kaiya enjoys being with her kitties, drawing, video games and fishing.
