Katzen the Tiger Lady is the stage name of a female performance artist and tattoo artist, whose full body tattoo theme is that of a tiger. (Katzen is the German word for cats.)

Childhood

When Katzen was 5 years old, she kept having dreams of herself covered in tiger stripes. She asked her mother to be tattoed and her mother said "Wait until You're 18."

Tattooing

She received extensive tattooing on all parts of her body and wears tiger whiskers attached via piercings on her face. She was at one time married to a male performer named "The Enigma," with whom she collaborated in a musical show team called The Human Marvels, and with whom she bore one daughter, Caitlin, who was raised by Katzen's mother. After divorcing The Enigma, Katzen eventually moved on to have a son, Felix, and marry another man. That couple has since split. She works at a tattoo shop in Austin, Texas.
