Meet Tattooed Beauty CEO Lora Arellano
In 2008, tattoo legend Kat Von D launched a beauty line that has fundamentally changed the makeup world. From introducing legendary tattoo cover-up foundations to unveiling a slew of ultra-vibrant pigments that continue to impress beauty influencers and enthusiasts. However, what if I were to tell you that there’s more than one Kat?
Okay, fine, Kat Von D doesn’t have a secret clone (that we know of), but she does have an industry doppelganger. Meet Lora Arellano, one of the co-founders and co-CEOs of the coveted indie brand, Melt Cosmetics. This tattooed girl boss started Melt from scratch with gal pal Dana Bomar and has since become a force to be reckoned with in the makeup world. And not only is Arellano a fierce businesswoman, she’s also a gorgeous tattooed woman, much like Von D. Take time to meet this tattooed powerhouse and let us know who is your favorite tatted-up beauty guru. Are you #teamkat, #teamjeffree, or #teamlora?
