New business in Grand Marais offers tattoos and piercings

However, she is familiar to some North Shore residents. She visited Grand Marais several times in the past with her mobile tattoo parlor, staying and working at the Wunderbar and at Trailside Cabins in Grand Marais. Asked if that means there are people here in Cook County with a tattoo or piercing by her, Kat laughed and said, "Yes, there's actually many!" 

WTIP wondered what Kat would say to someone who doesn't like tattoos or piercing. She said people should be open-minded. 

Kat works out of her mobile trailer at her residence on County Road 7 in Grand Marais. And because of COVID-19, there are some additional safety measures. Appointments are necessary. 

More information can be found about her business under Kat's Tats on Facebook. 

WTIP's Rhonda Silence spoke with Kat about what it took to become a tattoo artist and to start her business in Grand Marais.
