“Working with the Yugen collective has been a complete turn around from the place I was struggling before. My business was running, I was still making money, and had a mostly full monthly schedule. However, I was drowning in work outside of tattooing, between social media, emails, bookings, client relations, finances, travel, there was no room left for me. Running a tattoo business for 7 years and I didn’t have any down time. My free time was work and I was missing out on personal life experiences, in addition to burn out being just around the corner. In the past I had waited until I had gotten a boom of growth then scrambled to update my systems and business to be able to accommodate more clients. Always waiting until it limited my growth potential. I had tried several times to find an assistant, but with what my business needed, an assistant was not something that would actually be beneficial or helpful. Leaving me exhausted and frustrated. 
 Allowing The Yugen Collective to come in and use their knowledge and expertise from so many different business backgrounds, saved me and my business. The unsurmountable work load and stress I was having from running the business was entirely alleviated. They also got a financial plan going for me so I could save up for goals, plan out what I needed to make, and what I could make, then helped me get there, almost doubling my monthly income. My client relationships have never been better and I’ve been able to have a solution for new client capture so I could fill my schedule to be completely full, with plenty of time off for myself. Working with The Yugen collective was everything I didn’t know I needed, they were the solution to the problems I was experiencing in my business. I really recommend tattooers & business owners consider a different kind of approach especially in the current climate of tattooing where there needs to be more that sets you apart from the crowd. Working with Kate & The Yugen Collective is just that.”
