Real relief. Zero pretense.

Inked Red is a one-woman studio in downtown Wilmington built for people whose shoulders live up by their ears. Every session is tailored to what's actually bugging you, whether that's a desk-job neck, a bitchy low back, or a body that just grew a whole human.

meet your therapist

Hi, I'm Katie.

I'm a North Carolina licensed massage & bodywork therapist and henna artist. I believe massage should feel like a reset, not a ritual you have to be quiet and polite through. Come as you are, tell me where it hurts, and let me get to work.
