Katherine "Tatu Baby" Flores is an American tattoo artist and reality TV personality born in 1987 to Colombian parents in Miami, Florida. Her early life was marked by tragedy when her father, who was a drug kingpin connected to Pablo Escobar, was killed when she was just four years old. After this loss, her mother chose to distance the family from the drug business.
Tatu Baby began her professional tattooing career at age 19 and gained widespread recognition through her appearances on the reality show "Ink Master," where she competed in both seasons 2 and 3, placing fourth and third respectively. She later opened her own tattoo shop, Till the End Tattoos, in Miami and has tattooed numerous celebrities including Jason Derulo, Rick Ross, and Dwyane Wade. She further expanded her television career by starring in VH1's "Cartel Crew" (2019-2021), a show about people with connections to drug cartels. She is considered one of the top Latina tattoo artists in the United States and has helped pave the way for women in the tattooing industry.
