A little over eight years ago, Katherine ‘Tatu Baby’ Flores sashayed onto our television screens as a contestant and eventual finalist on “Ink Master.” In doing so, she helped to open doors for thousands of women pursuing careers in tattooing. “When I first started tattooing, so many people told me no,” Flores says, “that I couldn’t do it because I’m a girl and I’m Hispanic. When I first started tattooing, there were clients who wouldn’t even talk to me about what they wanted to get tattooed because they didn’t feel that I would do a good job. I have learned from all those no’s and closed doors. And all of the artists now who just do their thing, I say good for them because they didn’t let anyone tell them no either.”
