I can do a lot in 30 seconds. With Tattoo Liner I can do eyeliner, eyebrow, and, if I want to get creative, a lip look, too. Kat Von D Read Quote
I look up to people not necessarily based on what they look like. For example, Edith Piaf is somebody I think is a beauty hero even though she was definitely considered to not be beautiful. It was just her charisma and stage presence, and to me, that really defines beauty. Kat Von D Read Quote
I shop everywhere from Maxfield to antique stores. I love Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, and I love vintage. Golyester has the best selection of mint things and dead stock. I collect 1940s to 1970s platform shoes, and that’s where I got a few of my best ones. Kat Von D Read Quote
My nighttime look is exactly like my daytime look – like I’m going to a super fancy funeral. I guess it would be considered extreme to most people, but I like it that way. The idea of conventional beauty isn’t attractive to me… that’s why, when I was growing up, I felt kind of torn about makeup. Kat Von D Read Quote
I’m a stickler when it comes to every aspect of my line. My development team probably hates working with me sometimes… but in a good way. I think that I push them to a certain degree to create something that’s going to withstand the test of time. Kat Von D Read Quote
My own father flipped out on me when I told him we decided to ditch our doctor and go with a midwife instead. Kat Von D Read Quote
The decision to make Kat Von D Beauty cruelty-free was easy and simple. Sure, my products won’t sell in China because of my decision, but if it spares an innocent animal from a life of torture, that is completely worth it in my book. Kat Von D Read Quote
As far as skincare goes, I’m from the school of ‘you are what you eat.’ I always promote a vegan lifestyle, not just because it’s great for our environment and for humanity, but because if you cut out dairy, for example, there’s scientific proof that it can actually help your complexion.

I think a lot of women want to be, like… ‘I’m cool with stretch marks and my body changing.’ To be honest, I thought I’d be a lot cooler with it, but I’m struggling with my weight gain. I know I’m healthy… but I was expecting to not be as affected by it… I’m self-conscious. Kat Von D Read Quote
Music has influenced everything from my tattooing to how I talk to how I walk, I guess. I was classically trained in piano since I was 6. Then in my teens, my older sister introduced me to Metallica. It was all over. I had a mohawk soon after that. Kat Von D Read Quote
