Our History

Phillip Graham Rendon - "I began tattooing in my late teens just by happenstance. Using only homemade tattoo machines and Higgins ink with guitar string for needles. My only attempt at an apprenticeship, I was told that I’d never be a professional tattooer and that I didn’t have what it took. I used that as motivation to keep pushing and learn the craft from a technical and business standpoint. I have an operations and customer service background which has allowed me to utilize those skills to enhance our clients’ experiences."

"I’ve had the honor of mentoring many artists and small business owners. I managed another very successful local tattoo shop for 10 years and decided to branch out and start my own private studio which grew quickly. As fate would have it my wife and I purchased a home in Santa Paula and fell in love with the town, deciding to move our main operations to Main Street. The Kollective speaks to my heart to help anyone that I possibly can to learn this business properly. An opportunity that I was denied originally. Now here I am, over 25 years later doing what I love."

Melinda Rendon - "I've worked in the public industry for over 20 years until recently to become a full time business owner with my husband. I have a background in management and customer service along with leading others in a positive way. The skills I've obtained over the years have led me to where I'm at today."

"I have a passion for fitness and health and am currently apprenticing in piercing. I've been intrigued with piercings and the art of it all, I love learning and fascinated with the whole process. I strive to give 100 percent and help others reach their goals. The Kollective Studio is not just a tattoo shop, it's a family. My husband and I believe strongly in family and it's our desire to create a safe, fun and positive space for not only the artists but our clients as well."
