Kat Von D :: Turned 30 today

Queen of ink Kat Von D has more tattoos than anyone could count in one sitting. We tried. AnKat has come a long way since her first tattoo job at 14. After appearing on both Miami Ink and her own show, L.A. Ink, which was canceled last year, Kat has become one of the most sought after artists in the industry. She’s also inked some paper with two best-selling books.

 And with a makeup line, an art gallery, a hefty list of top clientele and her first album on the way, Kat’s permanently marked herself a business woman. Sorry, fans, but snagging a seat in Kat’s chair at High Voltage Tattoo is a pretty difficult feat: the wait list is almost two years. Some of us will just look on from afar, admiring her work, and tut-tutting about her hook-up and breakup from ex-fiance Jesse James.

Not that we think she’ll stay single for long — this lady she pulls off that whole tough yet feminine yet super sexy look pretty well. Kat Von D turns 30 today, and in honor of her birthday, here are 30 pics of some of Kat’s own, personal ink, including the infamous Jesse James’ tattoo. Happy Birthday, Kat!

Kat von d : call wedding off

Have Kat Von D and Jesse James called off their wedding? A source told “Life&Style” the “Monster Garage” host is confiding to friends that he’s broken it off with his tattooed bride-to-be.

But Jesse told “People” the split report is “absolutely not true,” adding that “we’re still going strong. Things are completely good with us.” (Kat chimed in: “That’s the furthest thing from the truth.”)

In fact, the celebiker revealed, they are planning a summer wedding to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the day they started dating.

That day can’t come soon enough!” Jesse enthused. “Everything is on track. I am absolutely more in love today than I was a year ago. She’s the one for me.”
