Kat Von D , The Tattoo Artist

 Queen of ink Kat Von just turned 30 today. Although the tattooed TV personality has been out of the spotlight since her show "L.A. Ink" was cancelled, her fans still show appreciation for the body artist's birthday.

Kat Von D is famous for her turn on the TLC reality show Miami Ink and the resulting spin-off, her own LA Ink. She was initially brought on
board to fill in for fellow artist Darren Brass while he was on the mend, but Kat Von D caught on with many viewers and became a regular cast member. Kat Von D turned her new-found fame into her own tattoo parlor and her own show, which gave viewers more of what they really wanted. Meow!
