The Tattoo Chronicles

About this book

'Kat Von D' offers a look at a year in her personal and professional life through an illustrated diary that begins in spring 2008 and ends in summer 2009. When Kat does a tattoo, she writes about it and draws sketches in a journal, creating an entry for each piece. This book reflects not only upon the significance of the tattoo for the person who is receiving it (their story), but also how the experience of creating this tattoo affects her personally. This book includes her feelings about her fame, her family, her boyfriend, her friends, and fans. The array of clients featured here, including Metallica's Kirk Hammett, guitarist Dave Navarro, and Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister, and also includes photographs of Kat that were taken for the book.
