I just posted a video of Kat discussing her Latina roots. It is on another post from today. She comes from Argentine parents but was born in Mexico. She came to the US when she was 4 years old.
Kat got introduced to America with he TLC show LA ink. She also rocks that old Hollywood glam mixed with Punk sensibility that is so popular with some Latinas here in LA.
I have also commented on her makeup line sold at Sephora and here are some pictures of her (with and without tattoos)
Wikipedia says:
She credits the prominent Latino culture of Los Angeles as being a major influence in her art and style. She has a book compiling her artworks and tattoos, which was released in January 2009, called "High Voltage Tattoo". The book traces von D's career as an artist, from early childhood influences to recent work, along with examples of what inspires her, information about the show and her shop, her sketches, and personal tattoos. The book goes deep into tattoo process and culture: readers can see up close the pigments, the tools, and the making of complex, even collaborative, tattoos.
