Kat Von D

I fell in love with Kat Von D when she was on the show, "Miami Ink." She is a very talented tattoo artist. When she was fired from Miami Ink, I quit them as well. I am a loyal viewer of Kat's show, "LA Ink," which is about a tattoo shop she went on to create herself. Kat does lots of great things, but first let's learn a little about her background.

::::::::::::::::KAT VON D BIO:::::::::::::::

Born on March 8th, 1982, in the town of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, she moved to the States when she was four, settling in Colton, Ca. Her father René Drachenberg and her mother Sylvia Galeano were both born in Argentina, though René's family origins were German and Sylvia's Spanish-Italian. 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 . Kat maintains a strong relationship with her parents and her siblings, a brother Michael and a sister Karoline, and finding the time to spend with her family is a priority.. Growing up in the Inland Empire, a collision of influences led Kat into our world much earlier than most, her first tattoo came at age 14, an old english "J" on her ankle, a memento of a love gone-by.
