 You just can't get enough of Kat, the Queen of Portraits. Well, today is your lucky day, buddy. We sat down with her and collected all the info that hard-core fans would wanna know. 1. Kat Von D stands for Katherine Von Drachenberg (my father is of German descent). 2. I speak fluent Spanish. It is my first language. 3. I dropped out of school, but I do not want to glorify that at all. I faced many, many downfalls. 4. My favorite tattoo artist is Kore Flatmo, who is based in Cincinnati. He tattooed the eyeball on my hand. 5. I am obsessed with photos of downtown L.A. 6. I have a brother and sister. I am close to both of them, and I have tattooed them both. 7. I have a tattoo portrait of my sister on my left arm. 8. I came to America when I was 4. I was born in Mexico. 9. Both of my parents are Argentinean. 10. The first tattoo I ever did was on a 14-year-old friend. It was of a Misfits skull. 11. In 2005, I got a chance to tattoo the Misfits drummer. 12. I love platform heels from the ‘70s. 13. I go to the movies all the time. 14. Favorite movies: The Devil’s Rejects, Zoolander, anything with Will Ferrell, Immortal Beloved, The Last Unicorn, Spinal Tap and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventures. 15. Music is a huge part of my life. It influences my dress, my work … everything! I like everything from the New York Dolls to Slayer. 17. I never wanna have babies. 18. My favorite band is Motley Crüe. Seriously. But my favorite songs are by Beethoven. 19. My favorite Motley Crüe song is "Starry Eyes"; it's why I have stars on my face. 20. I own three pianos. One is in Dallas and the other two are in Hollywood. 21. I wear hair extensions (my hair is about shoulder length). 22. I love heavy metal, everything from glam to power metal. 23.

I own two sphinx cats (the hairless cats). One is named Hollywood and the other is Lebowski (Holly and Leebo). 26. I own a house in Dallas. I go there about once a month to tattoo. 27.

I skateboard to work all the time. 29. I am obsessed with Beethoven, and I have been playing classical piano since the age of 7. I love that Beethoven was a hopeless romantic, that he left everything he owned to the mysterious immortal beloved. |
