Blogamole › Kat Von D

Kat Von D definitely knows how to turn ordinary cuerpos into walking canvases with her finely detailed, black & gray portraits, but have you ever wondered what inspires her sharp inked designs? Born in Mexico and raised by Argentinean parents, Kat honors her Latin American roots by adding cultural elements to her needled creations.

The 26-year-old reveals her true amor for Mexico:

Yeah, all the time. My mother, until recently, was living in Tijuana and I just moved her back to America to live with me. But we go there often, and one day I plan on retiring there. I love Mexico so much. It'll be nice to have a getaway house and eventually reside there.

Perhaps this will inspire a "Mexico Ink" spin-off in the future! We can just imagine abuelitas getting tatted-up by Ms. Von D. On second thought...we think "LA Ink" works just fine! [Latina]

We all know tatted rebels Nikki Sixx and Kat Von D never hesitate to flaunt their caliente love connection...

Which is why the Motley Crue bassist recently spilled about his obsession with our favorite reality television star! The 49-year-old affirmed that age is nothing but a number when it comes to finding a life partner. We are sure plenty of viejitos are probably sharpin' up their game after Nixx shouted out, You're only as old as the girl.

Just like on the red carpet, the musician was not trying to keep his lip action to himself. He revealed to Latina:

When I [first] tried to kiss her she karate chopped me. She's a fiery one.

Imagine getting roughed-up by Kat. We are sure that kick left some bruises...especially with these devil red platform heels she is always rocking!

There is no doubt that walking canvas Kat Von D is hotter than her signature fire red lipstick! The reality television star will be spreading her sick tattoo creations for a new season of "LA Ink" premiering Oct. 9th, and preparing to launch a make-up line. Need to erase your crazy ex-partner's name from your arm? Kat will have your back with a tat concealer!

When she isn't busy building her Kat empire, this chica is catching her freaky novio, Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx on tour.

She recently opened up about her love for Nikki:

Nikki is such a rad boyfriend, this last month, he surprised me with an AMAZING camera to shoot photos! We've both gotten really into taking photos - although I am in no way close to being a "pro - photographer" in any way - taking pictures has been an amazing outlet for me.

We can only imagine what kind of photoshoots these two are working on! Thankfully, Kat isn't quitting her day job any time soon...
