Meet Dre Lamont of The Icyy Loft

Today we’d like to introduce you to Dre Lamont.

Dre, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I’m Originally from Kansas City, began tattooing at 16 still in highschool.
I wanted to further my tattooing career, so I got business license a few years after I received my tattoo license.

I also had a transition of moving to Los Angeles California and getting a tattoo license there to further grow my brand.
Now expanding into further areas of the media outlet doing commercials, hosting Airbnb properties + automotive rentals

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
This journey I’ve been traveling is the roughest road to drive on. It’s all about how bad you want it and if you do?

Taking these calculated risks are mandatory in the entrepreneur field

First struggles at the beginning is building a consistent clientele, and having the faith to continue going when things aren’t going properly. Be alright and get use to losing first you have to lose to learn. Wins come after 💡

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I provide a unique tattoo service that’s a good vibe and atmosphere. My shop Is a mix of a coastal island, therapy session with new culture vibes .

I’m known for nature themed black and grey tattoos.

Mostly 1/4 – full sleeve sessions but will always have tattoos of all kinds to complete

If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
Over the 7 years that I’ve been licensed professionally, I’ve learned that people come to get tattoos as a form of therapy or when dealing with a rough patch in life. At times a lot of clients tell me personal problems or life issues that’ll never be spoken of outside of the room. That’s when I began changing the form of my tattoo shop / area into a peaceful therapy style environment so they’re about to get away for a little while
