Kat Tat Makes History
Kat Tat is the first black female owned tattoo shop in California.
You may recognize the shop’s owner for VH1’s reality show, Black Ink Crew Chicago. Kat began tattooing in her college dreams with the hope of someday owning her own tattoo parlor.
Kat’s tattoo parlor, “Enigma” is located in Beverly Hills and has gotten a lot of attention for its art gallery feeling with paintings by Kat along with her amazing tattooing skills.
Originally stationed in Chicago, admirers of her work and talent travel to Beverly Hills just to get tatted by Kat. The red carpet grand opening took place on June 21st, the shop is now open for business. Next time you’re in Beverly Hills looking to get some quality ink, go to “Enigma” and support this female boss.
