    Hello Kate Im a lucky lady. Have 2 pieces of your art. I was in IF tattoo studio a couple days ago getting some work from my nephew Izzy Escobedo. When he mentioned his Aunt had tattoos from Kate, they all came to see.
    Much love and respect for this lady.
    Hope to see you in Arizona soon

    I finally at age of 56 decided to get my first tattoo . Kate is amazing. She listened to "my story" for the reason of the tattoo. This is not a run of the mill strip mall tattoo shop, Kate is artist beyond being an artist. She is a wealth of historic information on creation of tattoos. I LOVE my tattoo and Kate is a wonderfull human being!
    Thank you Kate--
