The two Kat Von D books include ‘High Voltage Tattoo’ and ‘The Tattoo Chronicles’, and the two Kat Von D books are available from good book stores and online suppliers.

Both of the Kat Von D books are recent and relevant, making them an ideal gift for anyone who is looking for inspiration for their tattoos. This article will take a closer look at the two Kat Von D Books.

High Voltage Tattoo

‘High Voltage Tattoo’ is the debut book from Kat Von D. Although both of the Kat Von D books have been huge successes, this particular book managed to reach Number 6 on the New York Times Best Seller List in 2009, when it was released to general audiences.

‘High Voltage Tattoo’ starts where any debut book should; at the very beginning. Although Kat prefers not to consider this particular book as an autobiography (as she feels she is too young to one), it does, however, document her journey from early childhood into the world of tattooing. The book contains artwork from her early days, as well as photos from her tattoo studio in California, High Voltage Tattoo, which clearly gave inspiration to the name of her book.

Both of the Kat Von D books were produced after her appearances on Miami Ink and LA Ink, and ‘High Voltage Tattoo’ includes photos and information about the show. In essence, the book is a great introduction to the charismatic Kat, her world, her background and her artwork.

The Tattoo Chronicles

‘The Tattoo Chronicles’ is Kat Von D’s second book, released in the fall of 2010. It takes a long hard look at the hectic months between spring of 2008 to the summer of 2009.

‘The Tattoo Chronicles’ contains a collection of Kat’s own personal tattoo diary entries. When Kat Von D creates a tattoo, it’s more than just a paid for session in a sunny Cali studio. It’s an experience that this passionate woman adds to her memory, and for each tattoo created, Kat Von D keeps a ledger, filled with scribbled entries relevant to each individual tattoo. The book looks at these entries, picking up on the good, the bad, the ugly; all of them beautifully written and whenever possible complete with a sketch of the tattoo.

The Kat Von D books make it possible to find out more about the tattooist, her inspiration, her fiery passion, and her dedication to her work. ‘The tattoo Chronicles’ also opens up readers to the experience from other side, giving the lucky tattooed a chance to have their say on Kat Von D and her incredible artistic abilities.

Tattoo fans, celebrity fans and fans of the TV show will greatly appreciate both of the Kat Von D books, so head online today to order your copies of ‘High Voltage Tattoo’ and ‘The Tattoo Chronicles’.
