Who we are
Welcome to Small Happy, where every little piece of ink tells a big story.
Founded by Christina Kush, a well-traveled tattoo artist originally from the Czech Republic, this cozy studio in San Francisco is all about capturing the moments, people, and feelings that make life beautiful. Christina found her forever home in the Bay Area, where she now lives joyfully with her two young sons—and pours her heart into every tattoo she creates.
With a gentle hand and a soulful approach, Christina specializes in small, meaningful tattoos that help clients remember someone special, celebrate a turning point, or carry a happy memory wherever they go. Her work is personal, intentional, and filled with love.
Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, Christina’s warm personality and deep care for your story make each session feel like a conversation with a friend. Her goal? To turn your memory into a tiny work of art that stays with you forever.
