Kat Von D Biography

Kat Von D moved to the States when she was four settling in Colton Ca. Kat's paternal grandmother played a significant role in shaping her artistic development particularly in playing piano and exposing her to the great composers which as anyone who knows her can attest to led to her love for the works of Beethoven. Realizing her natural art ability in early 1996 her friends asked her to pick up the machine and get to work on them (her first effort was a Misfits skull with a homemade rig) the tattooing wasn't easy but she knew it felt right and she knew she wanted to pursue it. A little under two years later she started working with the talented bunch at Inflictions a shop out in Covina Ca.. This was a great period of growth in her work and led to her eventually moving down to True Tattoo a chance to work with Clay Decker and Chris Garver. Any tattooist worth their salt can see what an honor and an opportunity this was and any one who had known Kat over the course of her career to that point knew that not only did she deserve the chance but was sincere and talented enough to add to the already high standards of that shop. In addition it afforded her the opportunity to live and work in Hollywood the heart of the city that she loves Los Angeles. With this group together and the quality of the visiting artists and the additions to the line-up over the years True Tattoo has become one of the shops that any real enthusiast (whether artist or client) must visit a place where something great is always happening.
