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.

18. 9inch: Not everyone who gets tattoos get them to attract attention, I know I sure don't. I personally love tattoos. I find them to be very artistic and the ones that I have all mean something to me.

20. My dad was in the Navy and they all got drunk somewhere oversees. One guy was kind of a jerk and said he wanted a tat. He woke up with a massive hang over and a pain Around his ass. Hard to see for him, but there was a devil leaning on a shovel, next to a pile of coal, with flames coming out of the outhole! Really happened! I wonder what Kat has around hers? Maybe I don't want to know

21. you ever think people get tattoos to not be associated with close minded people as yourselves

22. Tattoos are voluntary scarring, and indicative of TRASH. Unless you're POPEYE, that is.

23. Seriously people, the stunt is stupid but not everyone that has
tattoos is trash or a criminal. A lot of people get stupid drunk tattoos and then there are people who get tattoos that are great art and for a personal reason. It amazes me that y'all have nothing better to do w/ your time than to sit around bad mouthing people you
don't even know, GET A F**KING LIFE!!!!!!

24. TATTOO WARS blows this show away

25. How about, live and let live? If you don't like Kat, don't watch her show. If you don't like tattoos, don't get one. But whatever you do, don't hate people that you don't know just to make yourself feel better. Tattoos can be, for most, a form of expression and used to mark certain period in their lives that they want to celebrate. Just because a person gets a tattoo does not mean that they are trash or even seeking attention. By the way, to those that don't know, Kat is a very talented artist and also Von is not her middle name. It is part of her last name.

26. Von is not her middle name. The Von D part comes from her last name, she just shortened it.

27. Shoot...I don't want to be associated with closed minded individuals........I had better get a tattoo!

28. People get tattoos to be unique like every other special snowflake that has a tattoo.

Thanks

29. I am a 53 year old Grandmother and I wish that I lived closer to L.A.....I'd stand in line for one of Kat's tats.........more power to her.

30. What vicious comments. I don't have tattoos and won't but have you seen this woman's work? She is an amazing artist. Her tats of people are incredible, she is very talented. Who cares if she wants to break a world record, many people do and after all, this is a capitalist country, she has every right to market herself. I haven't heard of her hurting or exploiting anyone. Also, the "Von" is not her middle name, it's the beginning of her dutch last name. Why do people make dumb comments they know nothing about? More power to Kat, she is at the top of her game and young and again, very talented.
