Kat von D and Ville Valo meet for a tattoo.

Yes, this is a video to focused on the "tattoo story" between Kat and Ville in Killing Loneliness (US version) video by HIM.

Ville Valo got Edgar Allan Poe's eyes on his back while he was on tour and it was done by Kat von D and her ex husband, Oliver Peck. Do you what to know how they really met?

I hope you like it!

This video was uploaded also on Youtube.

Taxidermista

She feels passion for interior design. It's nothing new if we remember the detailed ideas she had in her mind for her own tattoo shop (High Voltage Tattoo) and for the Monastery, her  photography studio.


When Kat was busy redecorating her ex-boyfriend Nikki's photography studio, she bought few dead animals. She described the place as "Think antique bordello hooker lounge meets Dr. Kevorkian medical room and taxidermy-heaven, Bela Lugosi's creepy library Den!!! Nikki's reaction is pretty f**king priceless!"

Now I found one of the few pictures of  Ville's house with the oak.
Check it for yourselves .)
AND Kat has been twittering (?) that she's been at Obscura, to buy more taxidermia in NYC. Connected?
Umm.. Forgot to mention. Those legs besides Ville belong to a beautiful mannequin he lives with. Yup, eccentric artist.

L.A ink, episonde 10, season 3

Kat von D and Ville Valo @ Inked , Feb 2010 issue.

Kat von D covers Inked, a monographic number that interviews artists related to her as Ville Valo.

Cool interview that shows the great friendship they have, how they met, new projects " I've said Kat I'm her canvas", confirms that his new tats were done by her (see related post), how he erased his finger tattoo by burning his skin with a cigarrette ...


If you wonder how they met together, Ville explains:

VILLE: " One of my mates [Bam Margera] told me about Kat , and I didn't know her work at all, but we set up a date at the Rainbow. The funny thing, we were sitting next to one another for 90 minutes before noticing each other. Neither of our cells were working and then I just heard a friend of hers say " Hey Kat", and I thought, Of fuck , she's been sitting here the whole time!"

On the other side, Kat is a bit frustrated with the last season of LA ink, about the departuring of Hannah and Kim..She angry with the fact that network focused the show on the drama.
Soon we will watch the 2nd part of this 4th season.

Don't miss the 69 Eyes interview!

Ville Valo: Tattoing More Idols Do you think it's a Kat's?

 My idol Ville Valo showed up one of his new tattooes on May @Metal Hammer Awards

Do you think it's a Kat's?

First I heard it was a finnish actress and I couldn't help thinking in Maila Nurmin, aka Vampira

Recent infos say that the tattoo belongs to Mayra Deren. She is another tortured soul. Died at age 44 by brain hemorrhage brought on by extreme malnutrition and drugs she is considered a key figure in the creation of the underground / New American Cinema.
Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) is her most "famous" film.

Detailed story behind, here.
