A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Personally, and this is only my opinion, I don’t really like Kat Von D. I mean, she’s a great artist, and has a shit ton of a talent, but the way she puts her self out there on her TV shows and stuff, just makes her seem like she’s a 3 year old.

    She’s a filthy tattoo artist. Period.

    yeah, she’s got some talent & shes fucking hot, but she’s way overrated, very into herself, and acts quite fake.

    the shirt might be a johnny cupcakes shirt, try looking that up.

    That’s not a pixie tattoo she’s working on, but a Pixie tattoo — Pixie Acia — she’s the shop helper on “L.A. Ink.” Kat got a tattoo of her on a recent episode as well.

    The cupcake and crossbones shirt is from Johnny Cupcakes:

    What? You don’t think it’s ok to smoke in a tattoo studio, and let your cat run around a tattoo studio? Jeeze…

    And apparently, according to her, it’s ok for you to do tequila shots while you get tattooed.

    I don’t mind Kat or LA Ink at all, they’re quite entertaining- but isn’t it the least bit creepy that dude is getting a tattoo of Pixie without knowing her or anything? Well he might, I have no idea, but it just seems like a random guy.

  22. Dimruthien Avatar

    I think Kat is very pretty and has talent, but shes a queen sized bitch. Hygiene? Whats that?! I find the show entertaining but I think she’s a spoiled brat who has her head up her ass. One day she’s going to come crashing down to Earth with an almighty thud.

    It’s interesting to read all these comments from people who hate Kat, but you have to understand, too- this is a Blog about the Modification world. It’s not, “Bizarre Mod Blog”- it’s a place where everything mod-related is welcome. Haven’t we gone over this enough as ModBlog Readers?
    She sounds like a deplorable professional and it’s sad she’s a public face for the Industry.. but I think it’s still important to see a bit of everything here.
    my two cents!

    Kat is hot. Pixie is hot. Kat is wildly successful. And talented. Pixie is hot. And wildly “talented”.

    All y’all bitches need to quit y’all bitchen’ and achieve somethin’.

    Word up Kat. You may not be lookin’ to procreate, but the guys at my shop and I would all father your babies.

    The fact that she smokes in the studio and lets her cat run around allover doesn’t make her that professional, and she acts kinda immuture, i’d say shes way overrated. The only reason I watch the show is because of the other artists on it.

  26. C.H.U.D. Avatar

    anyone else notice the lack of a machine bag AND clipcord sleeve??

    I’m sure she’s bare foot with her fucking cat running around.

    whatever happened to bringing the industry out of the stone age?

    I was half expecting to see her tattooing with a filthy re-used ink-soaked towel across her lap as well!

    all cleanliness issues aside…it looks like a great tattoo and Pixie Acia is the freaking hawtest!!!1!!…i would love to have her tattooed on me, but i dont think my girlfriend would like that too much 🙁

    i cant believe all the tattoo artists that like kat. she is the face of the tattoo industry because of the show. why do you people like her? she gives all of us a bad name. she is everything an artist should NOT be. dirty, rockstar attitude, and yes i will say it tribal is boring as fuck to do. but she will not do anything she doesnt like. and she will not do tribal. yes this is modblog, yes everything should be on here not just extreme mods. she is promoting a dirty environment and people think thats ok. i’m not trying to be an asshole. i’m not saying she’s a bad artist. i’m just saying that we need to preserve our industry and higher our standerds

    pfft please, she wouldn’t dare put a bag over her precious heartagram tattoo gun. [note sarcasm]
    remember boys and girls- hygiene and talent means nothing when you have money and a TV show.
    fuck, look at Paris Hilton!
    I’m not hating on her success, I’m hating on how/why she became successful to begin with.
    no one would even know about her if it wern’t for Ami.

  35. Chantellesaur Avatar

    Holy crap don’t ask me why I never noticed it but yeah, she doesn’t cover her tattoo gun, that’s horrible.
    Especially since these reality shows (inked, la ink, miami, etc) are the main place the average person “learns” about tattoos in the mainstream since the artists are now celebrities.
    So when Mr/Mrs. Consumer go into their local tattoo shop and sees the hygeine practices are the same as what they see on TV they won’t question it. Not dumbing down the average person but… it happens too often.
    I always wonder about her facial tattoos because being on TV and just looking at her damn face it’s obvious she wears a ton of makeup/foundation. So does she re-draw over her tattoos? Foundations won’t always cover them completely but they won’t look as sharp as Kat’s do.

    #20 and #28 said everything well. this is ridiculous. as for her being “famous,” i’ve never even really heard of her until now (except that her work was mediocre). i don’t have cable. i’ve just been reminded why that is.
    #22, i see what you’re saying.. seeing posts about bad artists, (healed) cut (small) lobes and “australian snakebites” is pretty boring. i’d rather just look at my page over and over again(even though i’m tired of seeing it) because the work i have done is more exciting then that. a lot of the photo quality is crap, too.
    sad, really.

  37. alyssa Avatar

    i think it’s fairly obvious from pictures like this that she simply wipes off foundation around her tattoos so that they dont get completely covered by her layers of makeup.

    *shudders to think of what she looks like without said makeup*

    What kind of shirt is that guy wearing!? Ive been wanting it for years! but never found out anything about it!? Any info on it would be helpful!

  48. aRKaiNTatz Avatar

    I’m still new to a lot of this shit here. I use the bag and the sleeve, been drawing for 20+yrs, and just recently started tatting as a profession, something i’ve wanted to do for more than ten yrs. She may not be what everyone expects, but she is who she is and has made something of herself because of it. All haters should consider this and stop worrying about others and just do you.

    her work is mediocre, i think the fame and glory belongs to the real portrait artists
    for someone who has been tattooing that long to not have come further, its a shame and just proves that she lacks any real talent
