Kiya Gloriani

Kiya Gloriani is an Oahu born artist who aims to use the arts of tattooing & hypnotherapy as doorways to creativity and expression, allowing individuals to feel at home in their body and mind.

With early interests in art and language, Kiya left her home at 17 to attend Chinese school and served 5 years in the Army as a linguist. During her time on the East Coast she began collecting tattoos and decided to pursue an apprenticeship after her service. She returned home and began learning the craft, spending the next 7 years as a tattoo artist in Honolulu and traveling abroad.

Wanting to find a way to nurture interests in psychology, spirituality and the metaphysical, Kiya returned to school to become a certified hypnotherapist. Using her own experience in overcoming anxiety, creative blockages and navigating new Motherhood, Kiya wishes to help others on their path to living with purpose, joy and inner strength.
