Cat Mackinley is a licensed esthetician and a multi-certified cosmetic & paramedical tattoo artist.
 

Completing the 132 hour Colorado State Accredited Permanent Makeup course in 2022 from Mana Collaborative Beauty Studio & Training Center, her passion for the art of modern cosmetic tattooing truly shines through her work. She strives to tailor each service to the individualistic needs and wants of her clients, whether it’s subtle or something more prominent.

Having a conservative approach to all of her services allows clients to leave with natural, flattering results. From cosmetic tattooing to scar and stretch mark revision, her ultimate goal is to provide clients with a service that leaves them feeling more confident and excited to look in the mirror.

Her ability and drive to learn and incorporate the most modern techniques and quality products produces beautiful, custom made results designed to last.

Her past careers have been heavily influenced by her fine art background and trainings as well as a focus on connecting with people and overcoming obstacles. Cat found the intersection of her trainings and experience and built it into Ink & Gold LLC.

The name of her business was inspired by the two aesthetic joys in her life. “Ink” coming from her passion and love painting which started from a very early age to “Gold” which is inspired by her love of working with the precious metal as an accomplished jeweler for nearly a decade. Bringing the two together and building something new by getting to build personal relationships with each client while also helping them reach their goals fills her heart up in so many ways.
