You might have seen her at the L.A. Ink TV show, in which Kat and her team of tattoo artists design incredible tattoos for their customers. Kat was born in Mexico. Her parents are from Argentina and they have German, Spanish and Italian descent, so Kat is a wonderful mix of cultures. Kat did not live long in his home country, from an early age she moved to California with her parents and quickly adapted to her new reality.
KAT VON D REQUESTED THE REMOVAL OF HIS PICTURE CLAIMING COPYRIGHT
When she was 14 years old, she started drawing in her own body and got her first tattoo: it was a “J” in the ankle, in honor of her first love. Her free spirit made her drop out of school and pursue her dream from a very early age; the art of tattoo. Her friends and teachers soon discovered that she had a great talent and started to become customers.
She managed to save enough money to open her first tattoo shop, called Sin City Tattoo. She was very successful with that first business, so soon she managed to open a larger and most trustworthy shop, “Red Hot Tattoo”, a reference for fans who wanted to get inked.
Tattoo artist Kat is undoubtedly successful, but this artist has not been confined to grow in that area she decided to expand her business. She currently has her own clothing and makeup line in collaboration with Sephora.
A fun fact about Kat is that she holds the Guinness record for having tattooed 400 people in 24 hours. But do not think these designs were easy and simple, she made artistic and complicated tattoos just like those that have characterized her style for years. Among the famous celebrities that Kat has had as customers are Jared Leto, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Ewan MacGregor, just to mention a few.
