Bio:
Kat Von D (born Katherine von Drachenberg in Montemorelos, Nuevo León, Mexico, on March 8, 1982) is an American tattoo artist, television personality, model, musician, and entrepreneur. Her talents in tattooing gained her an appearance on two seasons of Miami Ink, which led her to her own show, LA Ink, in 2007. During the show’s run, Kat broke the Guiness World Record for most tattoos done by a single person in 24 hours, giving 400 in just one day. She chose to end the show’s four-season run in 2011 after four seasons, and has since published two books, launched her own Sephora makeup line, and recorded two songs with the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl. On July 19, 2016, Kat publicly announced that she was ending her friendship with YouTube star Jeffrey Star, as she was done dealing with his “negativity.”
