Product Description
High Voltage Tattoo is a graphic perspective on today’s global tattoo culture by Kat Von D, star of The Learning Channel’s L.A. Ink and one of the most talented and popular artists working today. Designed in a style that is reminiscent of a handmade Gothic journal with its red padded cover, ornate typography, and parchmentlike pages, it throws the door wide open to tattooing culture in the way only an insider like Kat can. High Voltage Tattoo traces Kat’s career … More >>
She’s 27!!!!!! How can she write a book about “HER LIFE”??? She HASN’T lived! Yea, I read it. In fact, people who I apprenticed with know her. She is a very competent artist! But her TV show, and all the glitterati surrounding her character really do detract from her abilities as an artist. Her show is SO detached from tattooing that it’s quite insulting to artists working in this field. Please, if you want to read an autobiography of someone who has “LIVED” a life, read “the Longest Winter” or the “Forgotten Soldier”. THEN you’ll know what hardship is!!!

Kat lacks any ability for narrative storytelling, so she exploits her tattoo clients’ real stories, and makes money off of their experiences. She leads us to believe that she was affected by her Tattoo clients’ stories. If she was, then she would have given them royalties to their stories, rather than keeping the cash to help subsidize her income, because of her inability to do more than just awesome Portrait tattoos. The pages are covered with scattered senseless artifacts with minimal design. I felt like I was looking at Kats junk drawer in her mind. It belongs on the shelf of a Hot topic in the mall.

After reading the other reviews here I was sooo excited to buy this book for my daughter’s birthday gift – she LOVES Kat Von D, and we are both tattooed. I ordered and received it at home in Los Angeles, where I was first disappointed by the fact that I had read other reviews that said the book had a puffed/padded cover, which this one did not… it had a regular hard cover with a nice paper jacket, and so I got over that and took it with me to Seattle for the weekend, and not 2 minutes after my daughter happily started looking through the pages, they began to fall out! I am VERY unhappy about that, and had to tell my daughter that I would return the book to Amazon and see if I could find a copy that this wouldn’t happen to. We both loved the content of the book, but I wouldn’t let her keep a brand new book that is falling apart…
