Kat Von D is possibly one of, if not the best current female tattoo artist in the country. She started with a rough past, and made her way to the top battling family issues, constant declines from fellow artist, as well as a drinking problem. Her drinking problem was so "funny" and so insane she actually got a tattoo of a daisy on the underside of her chin stating "At least while I take a shot, people have something to look at." She's been sober several years, published two books, owns her own tattoo shop, has a make-up line and so much more. I not only adore her because of her tattoos but overall she's a strong, independent woman, with a past that she uses to help others. I am legit in love with this woman as insane as that sounds.
