In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Kat Soto, an up-and-coming tattoo artist working for Pink Cobra Tattoo in Fort Worth TX to discuss how she got started in the tattoo industry and the different challenges she has faced being a female tattoo artist.
Kat goes on to tell her inspiring experience tattooing as a guest artist at Classic Tattoo in Fullerton California underneath her idol Tim Hendricks (legend in the tattoo space) and how this motivated her to level up.
Topics discussed include: Tattooing Cats, Artistic Expression, Culture of Tattoo Shops, Various Tattoo Styles (American Traditional, Chicano, Japanese), BlueFace Reality TV Show, Managing Ego, and much more.
