Kara Gutierrez is known worldwide after going viral removing “The woman with 4 brows” eyebrow tattoos in 2019 using Li-FT® saline removal. If the botched jobs that came in before weren’t enough for her practice, the exposure brought it on even more and she was obsessed with these challenges for all tattoo removals and obtaining the knowledge to share with whoever wanted to learn!
As a trainer and lifetime mentor, Kara has the personality of a close friend who has your back, the eye of an artist, proper tattooing knowledge and skills of a technical expert, Kara owns Spot on Beauty located near Kansas City, Missouri practicing traditional tattooing, paramedical and cosmetic tattooing and Li-FT® removals. She’s a humble specialist and trainer like no other! Her outgoing, high energy attitude makes you feel right at home and completely welcome to speak up to express your thoughts, questions, and concerns for life.

Her experience in helping so many people because of this will not only help you in your Li-FT® removal practice but in your tattooing career before you put ink into skin (if this is something you already offer.) As Kara likes to say, “Your learning cup should never be full” and luckily no experience with tattooing is necessary to learn Li-FT® Saline Tattoo Removal and claim your own expertise in the tattoo removal field.
