Kat Von D Rocks!

I was kicking around with some peeps yesterday and we got to chatting about how we spent the Sunday after a friend's drunken B-day party. Turns out we all ended up watching the day long marathon of "Miami Ink' on TLC. Now, I'm not a big cable girl but I do finger the remote once and a while, however, I had never run across this particular reality show. It chronicles the life of a group of Tattoo artists that have set up shop in Miami. I was really impressed with the story lines, not to mention the calibre of artwork these people produce. My favourite and everybody's fav, is the only female ink-slinger on the show. Her name is 'Kat Vond D' and she rocks in every way. Kat's artistry is stunning and she is only 23! Her style gravitates toward portraits and realism, mostly on a black and gray scale but her colour stuff kicks ass too. Here is a link to her website where you can check out some of her work in detail. Awesome!
