LOS ANGELES—Alt Erotic (AltErotic.com) performer and brand ambassador Izzy Gonzales, aka Face Tat Mami, stars in a new episode of the Truly channel’s Transformed.
The episode, "Alternative Model Gets a Mom Makeover," puts a spotlight on Face Tat Mami as she explains that her 31 face tattoos, multiple piercings, fluorescent hair and clothing, boots, spikes and chains aesthetic—which she describes as "Trap Emo"—isn’t so well-received in her Denver, Colorado neighborhood. Thus, she submits to a "Mom makeover" by the show.
“I’m really nervous,” Gonzales says as makeup artist Tori shows up at her door and presents her with a pink polka-dot print wrap dress and blonde wig. “This is going to be awful!” After covering her tattoos, applying a light touch of eyeliner and lipstick, putting a bow in her hair and outfitting her in white Keds sneakers, the results are revealed to her in the mirror.
“This is weird, I don’t want to look at myself anymore,” she laughs in mock horror. “But it’s not bad ... I look pretty—just pretty different.” When her best friend and daughter show up for the unveiling, they’re in for a shock. “It’s ME!” she cries to her young daughter Amora, who doesn’t recognize her at first.
Despite the fresh makeover and long blonde curls, Face Tat Mami concludes: “I would not go out like this—I don’t think people would talk to me!”
Face Tat Mami is set to star in an eight-part Alt Erotic miniseries titled Many Faces of Face Tat Mami, coming soon to AltErotic.com and YouTube channel TattooAddiction.com, which features her first-ever trip to Los Angeles, as well as her "we assume" world record of 15 face tattoos in one sitting by Alt Erotic performer and artist Joshua Gray (which can also be seen in Ink Motel 3). Fans can also find Face Tat Mami in the upcoming Inked Raw DVD series.
