For as long as I can remember I have been interested in art, rather anything where I could be creative. I started drawing seriously around 5 or 6 years old. When my parents realized my interest and saw promise in my ability, they put me in private art lessons. I had some sort of art training from that point until I dropped out of college. Ironically I don't think that the thought of me being an artist by profession ever crossed my mind. Not until it had already happened.

“L.A. Ink” tattoo artist Kat Von D has been constantly surprising us with her talents. From tattoos to creating her fragrances, or ever makeup line and now she is showing off her skills as a fashion designer.
Kat tell us an amazing story about her life growing up, her poor family that didn't have a great financial power, so she had to learn how to do certain things herself, things such as sewing.

I started off as a professional dancer. I was in a ballet company for a few years and then ended up being a Las Vegas showgirl, in Jublilee at Ballys Hotel. Being a Showgirl required many photoshoots and appearances, so I found something I was really good at, and liked besides just dancing. I was already a rockabilly girl before I began modeling. One day I was asked to Model for the cover of CK Deluxe, and I did. Everything snowballed from there, and now I am what I am today.
