Kat Von D's Journey to Blacking Out Her Body: The Tattoo Coverup Story
Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D has explained her decision to cover most of her body with solid black ink, replacing her old tattoos. She stated that her previous designs no longer represent her and she enjoys the sleek blackout aesthetic. Von D tried laser tattoo removal but found it unrealistic due to the extensive coverage she wanted to remove. She has undergone 17 sessions and nearly 40 hours of tattooing to achieve about 80% coverage. Von D emphasized that beauty is subjective and urged viewers to refrain from leaving negative comments. She also addressed concerns about the health effects of extensive tattooing, stating that she has never experienced any negative effects and believes there are more toxic substances in everyday products.
