"Outside my family, there are few people I encounter who accept me for me and allow me to feel as comfortable in my own skin as Kat does.  I can't express how refreshing that is, and can only hope I do the same for her.  It's inspiring to be around people with a specific passion who not only commit to that calling daily, but confidently express why they do what they do via action and not just talk.  Oh yeah, plus she digs my dog and doesn't give me shit for texting so much.  Score."

"Kat Von D is the hottest tattoo artist in the world"

-- Mike Vallely

******

"Believe the hype- What you see is who she is- Kat Von D is a true one of a kind, bad to the bone, sexy tattooed bombshell- with a captivating personality and an 'I don't give a fuck' attitude. I wish more people in this world embraced who they really are and cared enough about sincerity and integrity like Kat does... It also doesn't hurt that she can draw better than most, is interested in progressing as an artist and is actually trying to show the world that tattooing IS an art form. Her art has a timeless quality to it, with a strong sense of contrast, detail and precision- Kat's own personal aesthetic walks among the few that are fortunately adorned by her touch. Generosity abound, Kat is simply, a great person.
