• 1:57
  Speaker 1: for having me again come a lot way. So the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: last time we talked, I know, let's talk about that's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm happy to happen. You're back on the show
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and everything, because you know, that's when I when I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: when you know, it's always a journey with everything. That's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that's the proximly about seven months ago when we talked,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: about eight months ago, when we talked and and you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: was finding yourself, you was making some decisions and you're
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: doing great things, but you seem to be not not
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: what you wanted to be at that moment. So let's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: talk about that journey where yet right now? I love
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: first of all, I can tell there's a difference in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: your tone and your energy. You feel really not saying
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you're a negative person, but your spirit seems right. Thank you,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I really really appreciate that. Um. I've been
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: out in Los Angeles for almost two years now, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of just figuring it out. Once
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you just kind of step out on faith and moved
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to an entire new city not knowing you know too
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: many people. It's a it's a big risk. So it
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: took me a while to get it figured out and um,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: finally I feel like I got my purpose back, you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: being a tachtoo artist my entire adult life since I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was a team me. Finally having my own tattoo shop
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: just puts everything in perspective for me, and I feel
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like I'm actually moving forward now instead of running in circles.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Now that then you live that out rather smoothly, my
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: own tattoo shop, because we didn't even talk about that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: eight months ago. That was that in the process eight
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: months ago. It's weird, Like I said, IVE been tattooing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: for so long. Um, like, tattooing is just my my
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: passion and that's what I do. And I am so
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: focused on creating and just figuring out, you know, where
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I wanted to live with you know, the TV showing
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: so much happening. At one time, I felt like I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: didn't even really have the time to think about to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: put together a plan like Okay, I'm gonna move here
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and open up my shop. Like it really just it's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: set on my spirit when when I felt like it
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: was the right time, you know, so it it took
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: me a long time, but like I once I felt like, okay,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: now this is time for me to pursue this. Um,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I went and looked at spaces and you know, started
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: putting the piece together as to what it would take
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and then UM, from there just started rolling. So it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: was really like a six month process from you know
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: actually yeah, but the trade was so UM has been
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: there for so long that we got we gotta brand.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You gotta brand. You have a following, So that's what
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: helps in social media, helps you out, help help you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: make that decision to open as well, didn't it. Yeah,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. I mean just being a tattoo artist, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: there's no bigger platform that you can ask for, from
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a national TV show to you know, hundreds of thousands
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of followers on Instagram. It's like it's a blessing that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you can't take for granted and you gotta take full
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: advantage of it. And you have been. So let's talk
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: about this whole process because my show Money Making Conversation
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is about entrepreneurship. It's about people making that decision that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you made. Like you said, eight months ago, are we
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: discussed you was talking, you didn't bring up the idea
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that I was going to open my own tattoo shop
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles called Enigma tattoo. Now I lived in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles fifteen years. Where about is it? So I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: can you can you can talk to me. Wasn't you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: open the shop? And where are the locations? And why
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you chose this location? Um, it's Beverly Hills areas right
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: on the corner of Pico and Robertson and anybody, yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: everybody that is from here that comes by there, like, man,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you couldn't have picked a better location. So it took
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: me a long time to figure out the location I lived.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I used to live in North Hollywood, and I didn't
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: want to do it your way away. If that's a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that's a one on one, that's one on one north right,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: howd uh? Um? North Hollywood? Yeah, I think so, but
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not there anymore. I moved close to to the shop,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: but yes, and then I looked in Culver City, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I looked on Mail Roads, where every other spot was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a tattoo shop, and none of it felt right to me.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So I was actually going to get my hair done.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Um at this salone in that area, and I'm looking around,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what area is this? And then so I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: just drove all up and down Pico and I wrote
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: down the phone number to all the vacant spots, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: there was one that just looked like it had so
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: much potential to me. So I went, I looked through
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the window, I wrote down the number, called, got the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: prices and everything, and then from there I connected with
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the commercial rotor and he just closed the deal for
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: me and everything went smooth from there. So this is
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: so cool. So I know, Pico Robinson, that's the location
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of Enigma Tattoo that's owned by Cat tat Cat. Let's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: talk about this so because it was really a cool conversation.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So do you have any employees? Are you there by yourself? How?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: How was working there? What's going on? Oh? No, absolutely?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: There are six of us total, six amazing. Um. Sounded
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like a TV show to me, sound like a TV show.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I will take that. So I'm not mad about CEO
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a TV. Now. I'm just gonna let you know that
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking to the speaking to words come true. Okay,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. Let's put that in the air.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But um, yeah, six of us total, all great amazing
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: tattoo artists. Um. And it's just a blessing to be
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: able to work with other amazing artists as I moved here.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I've just been kind of doing my own thing, traveling,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: doing private sessions the studios. So now it's like, okay,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: now I can build something where we can all come
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: together and you know, do something even greater. This is interesting.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this so because this is really
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: really cool conversation because we're talking about business. How you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: started your business from a six months ago, You're you're
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: driving up and down the street, You're looking at you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: looked in shops in different areas, Culver City, North Hollywood, Hollywood,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and you're settling on this location. Now you're telling me
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: with Sean, I'm not in there by myself. I have
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: six other people. Okay, your celebrity tattoo artists. How did
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you choose the other six people to come on board?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: That they have to have a social media following? Did
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they have to have a client base? Did you look
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: at their art work or they came with recommendations? How
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: does that work? Yeah? You know what, when I feel
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like once you enter the art world and the tattoo world,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: all that celebrity and TV stuff doesn't mean anything. You
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: could be on TV, but that doesn't mean that, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you could be doing crappy work on TV. So for me,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it was all about the art, all about their skills set,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you know, there um their own clientele and everything. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I pretty much like Cherry picked the artist. And I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: just I was actually nervous to approach them because I'm like,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: why would they want to come and work for me?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's really really nervous and it's kind of timid.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So I just you know, I just went out for it,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and I sent them emails or text our reashouts and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: how I could, and I asked if they would want
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to sit down and go to lunch with me so
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I can tell them a little bit about what I'm doing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And it worked, like you know, they were stoked to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: come on board, and now we're just forming an amazing team.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm just blessed. This is cool. Now, what is
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: your vision of of a tattoo shop? You know, store,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: your location? What what makes you when you walk in there?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: What when r Sean walks in there? Well? What? Whatever? What? What?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: What world am I walking into? Well? When you ask,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: like if I had always planned on open up a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: tattoo shop, I come from, you know, the tattoo industries,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: small towns, of my college town, and all tattoos shops
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: were kind of small hole in the wall. You know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: some people are kind of like mean at the front
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: desk is very gritty, and that's not me. Like, I know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I'm a tattoo artist, but I'm also a businesswoman and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I always think big. So for me to have the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: tattoo shop, I didn't want just a little hole in
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the wall, you know, like grip type intimidating shop. Like.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I wanted something that would appeals to people in all
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: different categories, not just the tattoo industry. I wanted it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to appeal to people who are interested in art, who
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: are interested in beauty, and just I wanted to be very,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: very high class us. So I love it. I love it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like I walk it in, It's just
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: like an experience. That's what you've created, an experience. Yes, absolutely,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it's a people's first impression when they walk in. It's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: just like, man like this, you know, I've never seen
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a tattoo shop like this. How was that thought? Right there?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: We're gonna come back, We're gonna talk more with my girl.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Cat Tat opened a new tattoo studio called Enigma Tattoo
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: right at the Pico and Robinson in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Just say closer to be all right, listen to money
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: making conversation. Of course, I'm your host, ro Sean McDonald.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to a cat. Cat she's on fire. She's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: on fire because she just this summer in June, she
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: opened a new tattoo location called Enigma Tattoo Pico and Robinson.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: That's an amazing location to be and I like to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: we walk through the steps are opening the shop, the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: six months, getting the right people, because a lot of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: people open open businesses without a brand, without a concept,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and she she had a brand. She had established her
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: brando television, she established her brand and social media, so
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: least she had a marketing platform that she could work with.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: And then also, like she said earlier, just because your
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: tattoo on TV TV, don't mean you at tattoo artists
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: off of TV. And we all know she's a highly
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: recognized tattoo artist. Because celebrities are walking around with a tattoo.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: One thing you don't do is a celebrity walking around
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: with a with a busted tattoo, because then you can
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: mean don't the social media and you out of the game. Okay,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But because I always run. There is a little history
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: between about her. You know, she went to college in
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Columbia University, Missouri. Reason I have a natural natural connection
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: with her because mathematics is you know, my degree is
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a mathematics and that was her degree plan was in mathematics.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So we all were gonna have that natural relationship. But
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I always but she told me in my interview with
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: her that she started tattoo and while she was in
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: college and explain to everybody how that got started. Because
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, people, just let you practice on him,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and so to explain everybody how you got started in college,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and then we're gonna come back and talk about some
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: new ventures that you are a brand ambassador. Um So
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in college, I was my personality. I'm just very outgoing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Um I like talking to people attractive, intertractive, intertractive. Thank you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That helps a guy going. Okay, let I let the practice.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe she's getting the phone number. You know that I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: had a small part. But yes, I made a lot
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of friends and I was very um I don't know.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I just ordered up a kid one day. And people
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have seen my artwork because I had always drawn pictures
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and painting and stuff like that, so people, um some
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: our artwork. And then you know, like when you go
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to college, just like your chance to recreate yourself, like
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: people don't know where you come from. Or so I
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: had already introduced myself as this tastoo artist as if
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I had been doing it, like yeah, writist, never did
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it before, but I ordered up a kid, and I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: had people, um just believe in me. And then when
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I got my first client in the chair, that's when
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I let him know, like I actually never did this before.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But when you're you know, a freshman in college, like
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that's one of the most pre spirit pre spirited times
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: of a person's life, is that freshman ye of college. Hold, okay,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: this person is setting this chair. I'm assuming it's a dude. Okay,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you're telling him, okay, what what type of tattoo was he?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Was he thinking about? What? What? What? What? What was his?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And you told him this is my first time. Okay,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: let's talk. Let's walk through that step because that's that's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a really convincing moment for you right there. Yeah. No,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: he already had a really really crappy tribal tattoo, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna fill it in for him. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was fixed it, yeah, so um, so he trusted me
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to fix it. I got like almost halfway through, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I had so many people in my dorm room like
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: watching me. I wasn't being a therapist, but everybody, like
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: twenty people came down just to watch me, just to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: watch me do this, and like halfway through, my machine
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: like broke. So I was like, yeah, I'm gonna figure
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this out and I'll get back to you. And then, um,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I networked with some other tattoo artists and found someone
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: who taught me how to set up my machine the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: right way, and then I revisited his tattoo at a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: later date and then I fixed it. And then from there,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I just started putting my work out on Facebook. When
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: everybody around the campus, you know, um heard that there
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: was a tach girl and that's why I got my name,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you know, cat tat girl. UM. And then I just
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: started tattooing everybody on campus, like the you know, all
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the Kappas, the queues, all the Greek Scale, um, all
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the athletes just started getting work from me. And I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: became more of a tattoo artist than a student. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: that's when I knew, like, okay, my life is kind
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of going two different ways, like in my a suitor,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: in my studying math, or in my tattoo artists. After
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a few years of you know, being consistent with tattooings,
