Meet Timo Schuldt | Owner of Lakimii Tattoo

We had the good fortune of connecting with Timo Schuldt and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Timo, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
my wifey, my son and the weather in California

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Born and raised in Germany, I was a professional soccer player in my youth and then moved into the automotive industry.

Then, due to a stroke of fate
and as I have always loved tattoos, I opened my own tattoo store in my hometown with my business partner Martin Lakimii in 2019.

The hardest part was leaving family and friends behind and being completely on my own in a
new country on a new continent knowing anyone.

Here in La I have learned onjedball not to trust anyone so easily.

You should always chase your dream and try because if you don’t do it or don’t try anything you will never know if it would have come true.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would show him NBA Laker game, Las Vegas Casinos and the Big Bear Mountains.
For sure I would show him DTLA skid row and show him also the oppusite side of LA, so he knows all we have we should appreciate as long we are healthy and have a home.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
for sure my parents they always support me, since I moved 3 years ago from Germany to Los Angeles and leave them back home.
My right hand my wifey and my Business Partner and Mentor Martin Lakimii, ( he also from Germany)
