A loan helped to purchase tattoo machines, tattoo ink, and display cases, and to make improvements to the space where she offers her services.


Marta Lucia's story

Marta works offering beauty services such as manicures, pedicures, hairstyling, and makeup from her house. She also does tattooing. She found in these activities the possibility to generate more income and get her two daughters ahead, offering them a better quality of life. She has been in this business of personal and domestic services for approximately two years, which she carries out in the municipality of Jericó.

Marta characterizes herself as being a charismatic, energetic and determined person, always seeking alternatives which help her to get her productive project ahead. For this reason, she asks for this loan to invest it in the purchase of tattoo machines, tattoo ink, and display cases, and to make improvements to the space where she offers her services.

With this, her business will have growth and she will have two activities from which to get income. With this, she hopes to counter the competition, which has affected her.
