Kevin Brady (Born and raised in San Francisco, California, USA)
Beginnings
Born and raised in San Francisco, California, Kevin played music, worked as a sign painter, did a bit of custom painting on midget racers, and a few other art related odd jobs, before decided to pursue a career as a Tattooer. Having learned a lot about the tattoo biz from P.A. Stephens in Sacramento, Kevin has also worked at Danny Danzl’s place in Seattle, with the great Cliff Raven at Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Strip Tattoo. Hollywood is also where Kevin first worked with and met a great friend of his Gill Montie, who by the way shares the same birthday Dec. 18th 1954 year and all with Kevin. Recently these two have teamed up again in Beaumont TX at Gill Montie’s World Famous Tattoomania where Kevin is excited about tattooing along side Gill again. Now, they are also collaborating on a series of designs for World Tattoo Authority.

Both my Wife and myself have been tattooed by Kevin … 2 great pieces to add to his collection of excellant work. Its been about 22 yrs. now. I’ve been wondering how he has been doing and where he is. Last I heard he was working with Gill again, then I just seen that he might be up in the Northeast.

Kevin is an amazing tattoo artist and his client list is very impressive. I had an idea of what his work was like once I knew he had designed Motley Crue’s Dr. Feelgood album. Also glad to hear he’s working again with Gill Monte, another great tattoo artist who does awesome tattoos as well. Can’t wait to see the designs for World Tattoo Authority. Glad you have him on tattoobio!!
