tatum | san rafael, ca

Tatum is the Bronze Boss behind Lucky Bumble Airbrush Tanning Studio in San Rafael, CA. Her sunless journey started in early 2016, when she was trained to be a fill-in for a friend, as needed. After an injury that left her friend unable to airbrush any longer, Tatum quickly found herself responsible for a fully-booked schedule - with only one short training session under her belt. After three years, she became the proud new owner, and business has been thriving ever since. An entrepreneur at heart, her true passion is to help YOU become your own Bronze Boss!
