The Tattoo Chronicles is an illustrated diary that offers an intimate look at a crucial year in the personal and professional life of Kat Von D, the charismatic, no-holds-barred tattooer and star of LA Ink.
When Kat does a tattoo, she writes an entry about it in her journal, reflecting not only on the significance of the tattoo for the person who is receiving it but also on how the experience of creating this tattoo affects her personally. In these diary entries-some poignant, some hilarious, some confessional-Kat lays it on the line about how doing these tattoos influences her life and art. Here are the highs and the lows, the good, the bad, and the ugly-including her feelings about her fame, family, love life, friends, and fans. Visually stunning, this graphically compelling diary is jam-packed with tons of Kat’s images, from sketches of her tattoos to the finished works, and candid shots of her unusual personal collections-all photographed by Kat herself. Fans will love reading about her array of clients from all walks of life, including Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, Dave Navarro, and members of Metallica, Green Day, Kings of Leon, and the Eagles. Throughout The Tattoo Chronicles are captivating, color photographs of Kat that were taken specifically for the book, published here for the first time. Here she is: the real Kat Von D: unscripted and uncensored! [Read sample pages](http://www.harpercollinscatalogs.com/TR/other/9780061953361_0_Extra_Interior-Content_1.pdf).Author Biography

"Kat is extremely generous, sharing and honest. I treasure my Kat Von D book collection!!!"
"This book is TOTALLY AWESOME. Good inspiration for my own work. The best tattoo book I have read."
"Everything is so good about this book right down to the cover."
"I read this book purely for the fact that I love Kat's tattoo style. She irritates me quite a bit in the LA/Miami Ink series.. But after reading her book I've got a new found respect for her. I couldn't put it down!! "
"This book is quite possibly the first of it's kind as it catalogues a year in the life of Kat Von D of L.A. Ink fame and owner of Hollywood's High Voltage Tattoo each month as the calender rolls through we get insight to how the Tattoos she puts on others affect her, helping to draw strength, inspiration and sometime sadness from the tales of others and the art she places upon them. Tattooist now days deal with a much broader cross section of the public and it is really interesting to see how the artist is affected by this. "
