Tattoo art icon Kat Von D has been out and about signing copies of her newest book "High Voltage Tattoo." Kat has of course gained fame from starring on TLC’s "L.A. Ink" reality show.
The book, which includes a foreword from Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, is a graphic look at the worldwide tattoo culture which Kat has helped bring to the mainstream.
Not only is the book biographical, it also includes a number of photos and stories of regular people and the famous--and sometimes infamous--fans and participants of tattoo culture.
With a must for any tattoo-themed book, it includes many of the personal tattoos of Kat, along with in-depth looks at the process involved with making these fantastic creations.
