Get To Know The Person Behind: BobaTeaTats
Hey Guys, my name is Kyla, and I go by BobaTeaTats for everything Tattoo! I am very happy you have found my Website! In this section, I will talk about myself and my story, so that we can get to know each other better :)
While this is my job and I want to be professional, I also want to make sure that every interaction that I have with you guys feels welcoming and safe! I am here for ya’ll and thank you guys, truly from the bottom of my heart, for everything, as I wouldn’t be in this place without ya’ll! This Journey has been amazing, and it’s been so fun working with and seeing so many new faces! I love connecting with everyone, and enjoy being able to form genuine connections with ya’ll, not only pertaining to tattoos, but also just being able to meet and make so many new friends as well!
Here’s my tattoo Story:
When I was 16, looking for a job as most 16-year-olds do, I ended up applying to literally one place, and that was Chick-fil-A. I have been with CFA since 2019, and actually still currently work there on the side. I’ve been through the ranks with them and eventually stopped at the leadership/management level. While management was fun, and I had skill within the role, I eventually started having thoughts of changing my life and the direction that I wanted to take myself in. I started realizing that at the end of the day, while I did put care and energy into it and was good at what I did, I didn’t have a true passion to work in fast food.
Growing up, I have always been into being creative/always had natural artistic skill, and found many outlets to express that creativity. I did any/everything from painting, drawing, coloring, polymer, clay, making pictures, making YouTube videos, etc. So it wasn’t even just art necessarily, it was anything that I could do to be creative/express myself in some way. It honestly didn’t matter what medium or form I used to do so; I just wanted to be creative in some way!
At some point, due to some life experiences, I picked up tattooing as another outlet for that strong creative side of me! I practiced on and off on my own for a little bit, but ultimately put it down for a couple of years, and hopped back on the Chick-fil-A train. This was due to life just being life, but I was also playing it safe, as in the back of my head, since I didn’t go to college, and on top of that wasn’t sure if tattooing was going to be a viable option, I got nervous about making a jump like that!
After those couple of years, I saw and started following the work of someone of whom I had met a couple of times! I saw how passionate they were and how much they enjoyed what they did while also being able to make a true living off of Tattooing alone! After being re-inspired, and also still having the previous supplies from before, I picked tattooing back up again, but this time with a new mindset and determination for it! With the support of family and friends and also after a while of doing things on my own out of my house, I started making serious life changes, and was able to find my home at
Diverse Illusions Tattoo 2 (401-D Milacron Dr, Fountain Inn, SC 29644)
I love being here and being able to do what I do! It is so much fun to truly be working towards my goals with a strong passion for what I’m doing! As I said before, I also have a lot of fun meeting and working with you guys! This really is a dream come true!! While I am happy to be here and am still growing, even once I get to the point where “I’ve made it,” I’ll never stop being hungry and wanting to work towards the betterment of myself and my skills! Love you guys and hope to see you soon!
Who is Kyla?
Just some more personal information about me and my life:). As I said before, I would love to get to know you guys more, even past just the tattoos :))
I was born on December 27, 2002
I am Chinese and was adopted as a very young child. I have one (non-blood) brother and grew up in Memphis, TN, but moved to Greenville, SC, to start the 5th grade year.
I love to eat, so I cook good ass food for myself, and I love when others take part in eating what I cook too!
I have 3 children = 2 cats and 1 dog hehe (Po, Sushi, and Leo)
Other than tattooing, I have only ever worked one other Job at Chick-fil-A as a Manager. Now, I am chasing my dreams/pursuing something that allows me to use the creative part of me, and that’s through tattooing!
In my free time, I like to hang out with my friends, and I tend to find myself scrolling on my phone too much lol
I enjoy doing things outdoors, especially when it’s spring or fall!
I enjoy watching Anime and listening to music! I also really love K-pop and going to concerts!
I am definitely an introvert while also being an extrovert. I know that doesn’t make sense, but tbh neither do I sometimes ahahah
“Stray kids everywhere, all around the world” - you’re a real one if you know what that phrase is from
I also like movies and TV, with some of my favorites being series like Harry Potter or for TV shows, currently I’m watching Animal Kingdom (it’s crazy)
