Turn Your Dream into Artwork at MamaTattooPrague

Ready for a tale of transformation and artistry in Prague? Let me introduce you to Katie G. Tomaselli of Mamatattooprague.

I’ve been following Katie’s career since she was recognized as one of the ForbesWomen of 2021. Katie’s bold move from the corporate world to tattooing during her maternity leave is a story of daring change and new possibilities.

“Welcome to a space where your dreams turn into artwork,” Katie begins. “At Mamatattooprague, you meet not only a passion for ink but also a warm and caring atmosphere.”

Recently, I had the opportunity to be tattooed by Katie in her new chic and welcoming studio in Karlín, infused with light and designed with flair, mirroring the creative spirit that defines her and her work.

“It’s a place where you can leave your worries behind and immerse yourself in a world of inspiration and beauty,” says Katie about her studio.

She takes the time to understand each client’s ideas, ensuring a seamless process from concept to creation. Her skill in a wide range of styles, coupled with her dedication to using high-quality, skin-friendly materials, sets her apart in Prague’s tattoo scene.

“With me, you won’t wake up with a ‘tattoo hangover’. We always consult your ideas in advance. I enjoy being inspired by your imagination and helping you materialize it,” Katie explains.

Are you’re looking for a new career direction or want to expand your horizons? You’re in the right place too.

“As a tattoo artist with rich experience, I now pass on my knowledge and techniques in the friendly and supportive atmosphere of our courses and workshops.”

If you’re in Prague and looking for a unique tattoo experience or keen on learning the craft, Katie and Mamatattoo Prague should be on your radar.

Navigating Expat Life with Thais Silva

Ever felt lost or overwhelmed adapting in a new country? You’re not alone, and help is at hand. I’m happy to introduce you to Thais Silva, an Expat’s Life & Career Coach.

For many of us, the allure of a new country brings promises of adventures and fresh starts. But with the thrill, come undeniable challenges. This is where Thais steps in, offering hope.

“My coaching program is for all courageous expats who have achieved their dream of living abroad yet, are struggling to adapt and progress at work, expand their network, and create meaningful relationships in a new culture,” says Thais.

Thais has structured the “Empowered Expat Journey”, a 6-month transformative coaching program. Participants awaits a 3-step journey to “Rediscover” their true selves, “Recreate” life and career goals, and finally “Realize” – making their aspirations come alive, leading to authentic connections in unfamiliar terrains.

“Moving to a new country can be thrilling and exciting, yet it brings a lot of new challenges. I had to learn the hard – the challenges of expat life shook my confidence. With the help of a coach, I found a way back to my true authentic self,” Thais recounts.

Drawing from her personal struggles, she offers a perspective few can. Thais’ story shows how guidance and the right mindset can help navigate expat challenges.

“Through this program, I want to give back to the expat community the support I’ve received. I offer my clients clarity and guidance to take charge of rebuilding a fulfilling personal and professional life in a new country.”

To all the brave souls navigating their expat journeys, Thais Silva might be the guiding hand you need.

Empowering Women with L’Chaim

I recently came across L’Chaim, an NGO founded by the invincible Yael Schoultz. Diving deep into Prague’s underbelly, Yael has dedicated over a decade working with women in prostitution. During her time, she’s been a ray of hope for many, lending an ear to their stories, dreams, and aspirations. 

“I wanted our organization to exist to encourage such women showing them that they can fulfill their dreams and that a period of time in sex work does not define the rest of their lives,” shares Yael.

What sets L’Chaim apart? 

“We are one of the very few NGO’s who visit women in the brothels of Prague,” says Yael. 

While advocating for safe sex work as a human right, they stand firmly against human trafficking. 

“I really believe in the power of women, and I believe that every woman has the right to determine her own destiny.”

If you’re looking for a way to make a difference donations, are always welcome and directly aid the cause.

By supporting initiatives like L’Chaim, we not only shed light on overlooked issues but also celebrate the determined spirit of women like Yael, who work tirelessly to uplift and empower.
