[edit] Biography

Kat Von D was born in Mexico to Argentinean parents of Italian and German descent. She moved to Los Angeles at age 4 and grew up in the Inland Empire in Southern California. She credits the prominent Latino culture of Los Angeles as being a major influence in her art and style.[1]

Kat owns her own make-up line on Sephora, and is the creator of the Musink festival. One of her eyeshadow colours is named, "Orbi" in her True Romance Eyeshadow Palette in Ludwig. She has a book compiling her artworks and tattoos, which was released in January 2009, called "High Voltage Tattoo". The book traces von D's career as an artist, from early childhood influences to recent work, along with examples of what inspires her, information about the show and her shop, her sketches, and personal tattoos. The book goes deep into tattoo process and culture: readers can see up close the pigments, the tools, and the making of complex, even collaborative, tattoos. In a January 2009 interview on Anytime with Bob Kushell, von D said about the book: "It's not an autobiography, you know, 'cause I'm too young to do that. But this is just kind of like a picture driven outline of my career as an artist. So, you see everything from my drawings when I was six to tattoos that have never before been seen."[2] Kat married fellow tattoo artist Oliver Peck in 2003, but divorced in 2007. Since then she's dated a number of notable rockers including Whitestarr drummer, Alex “Orbi” Orbison. Kat's current best-selling book "High Voltage Tattoo" (published by Harper Collins) has a foreword by Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, whom she is currently dating (since 2008), which she acknowledged in an April 2009 interview on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

[edit] Celebrity Fans

Kat Von D was immortalized in the Eagles of Death Metal song "High Voltage", which was named after her shop and is featured on their third album "Heart On". In an interview[3], Eagles of Death Metal's Jesse Hughes said, "I wrote that for Kat Von D, because that girl's bad ass. I was spinning one night, Hollywood rolling, it was like five in the morning, she was still at her shop with a couple of people, her High Voltage shop, and I came rolling in, we had fun. I'm home by seven in the morning and I'm sitting thinking what a rad night that was. I love this job. Bomb, 'High Voltage', and then it came out".

[edit] Musical tastes

Von D was classically trained in piano beginning at age 6, and began listening to Misfits, The Ramones, and other punk rock at age 12.[4] She particularly appreciates Ludwig van Beethoven and Space Station Wagon.[4] Von D has tattooed herself with the emblems of the bands HIM, Turbonegro, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Slayer, and "Slutallica", a modified Metallica logo.[4]
