Some of you ladies may be familiar with the Kat Von D make-up line, especially that oh-so-sexy Tattoo Eyeliner which gives you an effortless cat eye wing like no other eyeliner can. But do you know the equally sexy and strong lady behind this brand?
Kat Von D is the star of LA Ink, a TV program that was launched in 2007. A talented tattooist, she set the Guinness World Record for doing the most tattoos in a 24-hour period.
This book is a raw look at her childhood as well as her trials and tribulations in the tattoo world. As with any great tattooist, she gives her insights on what and who inspired her to create her world-famous renditions of body art.
If you are a tattoo aficionado or thinking to get one, this book will get you striding to the nearest tattoo parlor nearby. Filled to the brim with various tattoo designs, from Kat Von d and other famous tattooists around the world.
I found this book to be an eye-opener as tattoos are always looked upon as taboo in conservative Asian cultures. Getting a tattoo also has negative connotations due to unnecessary misconceptions. By reading this book, I fully understand tattooing as a personal form of expression and a form of beauty as well. Awesome read!
