Kat's Tat Record Stab Nearly Nixed by Truck

Posted Dec 8th 2007 3:18PM by TMZ Staff

Kat Von DVixen tattoo artist Kat Von D is trying to break a world record -- and needs the help of 400 ink lovin' Angelenos to get it done! Hopefully, some wayward truck won't interfere!

The "L.A. Ink" star posted a blog on her MySpace, pleading to her fans to help her break the Guinness World Record for number of tattoos completed in 24 hours. She'll hold the mass-inking on December 14 at her shop in L.A. To save time, everyone who shows up gets the same tat (inset) -- no minors allowed.

The tat costs $20 a person, with all proceeds going to the Vitamin Angels, an organization that raises money for children in Africa.

Last night, Kat's pigment parlor was almost tattooed by a truck that plowed into the Edible Arrangement store next door. Reality Bites!

A few more feet in the other direction could have put a serious damper on Kat's run for the record.

4. Anyone else wonder, at first glance, what does a pic of Ricki Lake have to do with tattoos?

5. Tattoos are good for one thing, at least it makes it easier for the police to identify suspects. I'd wager the vast majority of criminals have tattoos. "Tatting" yourself up while you're young you will ultimately regret it when you're old. Those tattoo sleeves will look great when you're 70! Any decision you make that will last a lifetime, you need to really consider the implications. Don't just go with what's cool now, you'll be sorry later. I know it's not criminal to have a tattoo, but it will last as long as a criminal record.

6. Wow, what a totally irresponsible thing to do. I've got full sleeves, and I can tell you that no serious tattoo artist would even consider something like this. These things are permanent and require dedication from the artist, not stunts.

7. Who cares about this stupid stunt ---- are the people involved in the accident okay???? Maybe the focus should be on them and not some rich bitch looking for more attention --- MEDIA WHORE!!

9. She will probably use the same needle on everyone to save time.

They should put dumb, dumb, dumb on everybody.

12. I have a tattoo......I am cool

Posted at 5:54PM on Dec 8th 2007 by Tattoos are coooolll

13. A friend got a huge tatoo of a Rams Football Helmet on his shoulder... no it looks really lame!

Chicks look so desprite trying to look sexy with a tat... when then tats start to get blurry they look like bruises and dirt. Especialy the fat chicks with the tramp stamp on the back... nasty!

Im glad I do not need to put ink in my skin to get attention. Its funny how fake people will do anything to get a second look from people. Its like rappers and thier bling! Wannabee Nation!

This Cat skank looks like a Tranny Sailor!
