About this product

Product Information

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 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. With a foreword by Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx, the book features images and stories about celebrities, rockers, pro skaters, and everyday citizens, including Slayer's Kerry King, Anthrax's Scott Ian, Margaret Cho, Jackass' Bam Margera, David Letterman, and many others. It profiles and showcases the work of artists Kat has selected from all over the world, her interviews with people who have compelling tattoos and stories, and amazing images of extraordinary tattoo work. Numerous portfolios throughout the book showcase a range of relevant subjects, from the black and gray portrait work for which Kat is famous to a popular tattoo theme, such as the rose or biblical images. There is a knockout ten-page full-body spread of Kat--clad in a yellow bikini and seven-inch, rhinestone-studded red stilettos--that catalogs in detail all her personal tattoos on her front, back, left, and right sides--even her hands and head.

    Well Wtitten Tattoo Book

    Excellent book. One of the best books on the topic that I have purchased in 40 years. Covers Kat's life story and the history of her personal collection of tats. Allot of personal insight into her life. Portrayal for other artists in the tattoo field. The photos and graphics are very well done.

    An other expectation

    The story it’s wells, realistic , I mean it supposed to be, it’s a biography. Its about how Kat get into the tattoo world. I was actually expecting a book full of tattos and pictures of her designs but it’s more story than pictures. But it’s good.

    Kats awesome book

    I was interested in this book for a few reasons...my son wants to be a tattoo artist eventually and I wanted him to see how hard it is and that it isnt instant fame or money. Also I heard that one of Kats guest artist, Jack Mosher is in it. Jack owns "Body Armor Tattoo" in Kalamazoo, Michigan and I have had the pleasure of being tattooed by him. Awesome guy and great artist. Anyway this book shows great artwork. The only thing I dislke about the book is I wish their was more of Jack (Mosher) in it...maybe I am a little partial due to meeting him and being from the same area.

    Good!!

    I love Kat Von D. SO this book was perfect. I love that she included a road map to all the tattos on her body. I have always wanted to know what they are and what they mean. I was also thrilled to see Bam Margera I love love love him. My only disspaointment was that she did not include Ville Valo, that would had been perfection..Other than that the book offers many ideas for tattos and details about Kat's life, as well as people she knows and other tattoists. I loved the book!!
